This has been a very interesting thread. I am a fan of Elizabeth Jennings, but had forgotten this sonnet. I was going to ask in an off-handed kind of way if Frost's is the first terza rima sonnet we could think of, when I just realized looking though this thread and Diana's post that, duh, Ode to the West Wind is not just terza rima, but in fact, composed of terza rima sonnets. So perhaps we ought to think of the Frost as being in a West-Wind stanza!
