The first eight lines of a sonnet is an octave. A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a specific rhyme scheme and meter. The first eight lines of a sonnet form the octave, while the remaining six lines are called the sestet. The octave usually presents the theme or problem that the sonnet explores, while the sestet provides a resolution or a commentary on the theme.
