名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A rhyming pair of lines in iambic pentameter, used in epic poetry.
    — Soon after Surrey's translation of Virgil, blank verse became a persuasive rival to the heroic couplet. It moved into most forms of drama. Yet the heroic couplet held its own as a vehicle for meditative and satiric poetry and, until Miltons example took hold some half-century after his death, as a vehicle for narrative poetry also.
