What do the following lines reveal about the structure of the Italian (or 'Petrarchan') sonnet?

The Italian sonnet is often called the Petrarchan sonnet after Francesco Petrarch, the
poet who made it famous. Many of Petrarch's sonnets are about unrequited love, a
common topic for sonnets that follow this form.

In an Italian sonnet, the first eight lines (called an octave) present a problem or
situation. The last six lines (called a sestet) provide an answer or resolution to the
problem. The switch from problem to resolution is called the turn. The octave of a
typical Italian sonnet has the rhyme scheme abbaabba, and the sestet follows either
cdecde or cdcdcd.

"and these i address to all females that would be married, or are already so; not that i suppose their sex more faulty than the other, and most to want advice, for i assure [women], upon my honour, i believe the quite contrary; but the reason is, because i esteem them better disposed to receive and practice it, and therefore am willing to begin, where i may promise myself the best success." this statement from franklin's "rules and maxims for promoting matrimonial happiness" best demonstrates his use of criticism to argue his point his use of common sense to appeal to women his use of flattery to gain women's attention his use of facts to prove his point
