There are 8 stanzas
The typical British style ballad consists of quatrains (stanzas with 4 lines each), having 8 syllables in the first line, 6 in the second, then 8 again in the third, and 6 again in the last. This holds true for each stanza. The 2nd and 4th stanzas also rhyme.
The length of a stanza varies by poetic form and author inclination.

For instance, two-line stanzas are couplets, three-line stanzas are called tercets, and four-line stanzas are called quatrains.
