Answer:

  • The first four lines of a verse that has the rhyme scheme abab.

Step-by-step explanation:

A heroic quatrain can be described as a poetic stanza consisting of four lines of iambic pentameter rhyming alternately.

The structure was used by William Shakespeare and John Dryden, among others, and was additionally called an elegiac stanza after the production in the mid-eighteenth century of Thomas Gray's ballad "An Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard."
