Spenserian Stanza Defined

A stanza devised by Spenser for The Faerie Queene, founded on the Italian ottava rima. It is a stanza of nine iambic lines, all of ten syllables except the last, which is an Alexandrine. There are only three rhymes in a stanza, arranged in an ababbcbcc rhyme scheme.
Sidelight: The longer length of the Alexandrines in the last lines provides emphasis and a sense of closure to the stanzas.
