I'm italian, I wrote this test, do you think it is correct?

This ballad is split into seven stanzas, each one with eight lines. There is a symmetry between the different stanzas which applies, not only to the number of lines but also their length. The same rhyme pattern and use of punctuation is repeated with exactly the same frequency in each stanza, split between them by blank spaces. The ballad was sung to the public so, for ease of recall, it was necessary to repeat the words, marked by a strong rhythm. This seems to resemble those typical of a march which carries through the melody. In each stanza there is repetition of the same words. In ysing each stanza, one notices that the first and third lines are always identical. :)
