What is the poet's style in the poem, The Unfortunate Lover?

The poem is written in a meter called iambic tetrameter, meaning that each line consists of four iambs (an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), making up eight syllables altogether. Thus, the structure is based around the number eight in terms of the stanza, line, and syllabic numbers. This lends the poem a high degree of structural consistency.
