    It is 14 lines, so technically a sonnet, but it doesn't follow any of the classic sonnet forms as it is all written in rhyming couplets. The metre is iambic tetrameter - ie, most lines have four strong beats (tetrameter) and start with a weak (iambic) one. (eg: And STARE as LONG as SHEEP or COWS.)

    Several people have asked about this poem, so if you type "leisure davies" into the "go" window at the top right of this page, you will be taken to several other answers which tell you more about it - I think I wrote one of them myself, but there are at least three.
