A Fourteener , in poetry , is a line consisting of 14 syllables, usually having 7 Iamb foot iambic heptameter heptametric feet, most commonly found in English poetry produced in the 16th and 17th centuries. Fourteeners often appear as rhymed couplets, in which case they may be seen as ballad stanza or common metre hymn quatrain s in two rather than four lines. The term may also be used as a synonym for quatorzain , a 14 line poem, such as a sonnet . Background Poulter s measure is a meter consisting of alternate Alexandrine s combined with Fourteeners, to form a poem of 12 and 14 syllable lines. It was often used in the Elizabethan era . The term was coined by George Gascoigne , because poulters, or poulterers sellers of poultry , would sometimes give 12 to the dozen, and other times 14 see also Baker s dozen . ref Attridge, Derrick. The Rhythms of English Poetry. p.93. Longman New York ref When the poulter s measure couplet is divided at its caesurae, it becomes a short measure stanza, a quatrain of 3, 3, 4, and 3 feet. In the early 17th century, George Chapman famously used the fourteener when he produced one of the first English translations of Homer s Iliad . Two centuries later, in his On First Looking into Chapman s Homer, John Keats expressed his appreciation for what he called the loud and bold quality of Chapman s translation, which he implicitly contrasted with the more prestigious but more tightly controlled heroic couplet s of Alexander Pope s 18th century translation, thereby using one type of fourteener a sonnet to comment on the other iambic heptameter .
