The idea
Fourteen lines, usually five beats, rhyming A B A B C D C D E F E F G G in his hands. Unit nine established the procedure: mark the quatrains, look for a turn at line nine or the couplet, and track any repeated word. The measurements come first.
In practice
Measure, find the turn, track repeats.
Where people slip
Unit nine's procedure, unchanged.
