Excerpt from An Alliterative Tripartite Poem on the Deluge, the Destruction of Sodom, and the Death of Belshazzar, by the Poet of Pearl
The Quatrain Arrangement. As was noted in the Preface to Patience, there can be no doubt that the author of these two poems planned his work on the basis of alliterative quatrains, and the manuscript indicates, by a slight mark in the left-hand margin, the beginnings of these stanzaic divisions, though in many cases these marks are now illegible. In the case of Patience, the quatrain arrange ment of the printed text, with a break after each group of four lines, for the first time made clear the thought and movement of the poem, and the gain in its right under standing and interpretation must be generally admitted.
