八行诗节有几种较为常见的押韵格式：
1．
abababcc，此押韵格式与“英雄诗行”（抑扬格五音步诗行）的组合叫ottava
rima('八行三韵体”)。起源于意大利，十六世纪初传入英国。拜伦长诗《堂·璜》即采用这一体裁。
2．
abcbddee
BEHOLD her, single in the
field,
Yon
solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by
herself
;
Stop here,
or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the
grain,
5
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
Wordsworth, The Solitary
Reaper
3．
ababccdd
Will no one tell me what she
sings?—
Perhaps
the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off
things,
And
battles long ago:
20
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or
pain,
That has been, and may be
again?
Wordsworth, The Solitary
Reaper
4．
ababcdcd
Thou ling'ring star, with
lessening ray,
That lov'st to greet the early
morn,
Again thou usher'st in the
day
My Mary from my soul was
torn.
O Mary! dear departed
shade!
Where is thy place of blissful
rest?
See'st thou thy lover lowly
laid?
Hear'st thou the groans that
rend his breast?
Burns, Thou Ling’ring
Star
5．
abcbdefe
'Oh, Men, with Sisters
dear!
Oh, men, with Mothers and
Wives!
It is not linen you're wearing
out,
But human creatures'
lives!
Stitch — stitch —
stitch,
In poverty, hunger and dirt,
30
Sewing at once, with a double
thread,
A Shroud as well as a
Shirt.
Thomas Hood, The Song of the
Shirt
此外，另有aabbccdd,
abcbdbeb, ababbcbc等押韵格式。
