There are two
distinct versions each with a separate syllable and rhyme pattern.
Both are syllabic, rhymed sestets, and may stand as one or more stanzazs.

Example Poem
As Others See You (Rossetti Stanza)
If I could give a gift to you,
to all mankind in fact,
'twould be to let you see the view
of others quite exact
eschewing tact,
not colored by some social hue.
You'd see what causes some to think
you're perfectly divine,
and see the power in your wink
or fear from a frown line,
that some may assign
when face and thought are not in sync.
