Enjambment is the breaking of a syntactic unit (a phrase, clause, or sentence) by the end of a line or between two verses.

The following lines from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale (c. 1611) are heavily enjambed:

I am not prone to weeping, as our sex Commonly are; the want of which vain dew Perchance shall dry your pities; but I have That honourable grief lodged here which burns Worse than tears drown.
