An "oxtet" is a term that refers to a group of eight lines in a poem, often found in sonnets. It typically serves as the first part of a Petrarchan Sonnet, presenting a problem or situation that is then addressed or resolved in the following sestet. The rhyme scheme for an oxtet is usually ABBAABBA.
