Thankyou all for responding and for the valuable comments.
Candice, gold star! It _was_ XXVII. I kept the rhymes and as
you suggest responded to the quatrains in turn. It also
seems that I lost it in the third one when i ventured out
sideways. I dug my working notes out of the bin as I was
amazed that even after being so careful I still ended up
with insufficient iambs. Thought I must have made a typo.
See what I mean about the medication?
This is more than enough to help me rewrite. Thnaks again
guys, you are all very kind!
