There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line.
"Hell hath no fury like a man cheated on - THEY say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but that's not exactly true. Hell hath no fury like a man cheated on! Ask any man what he fears most in a relationship, and his response won't refer to losing his money. It's giving his heart to a woman who cheats on him or who leaves him for another man." jamaicaobserver.com/magazines/allwoman/hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-man-cheated-on_62221 In this poem the Officer lays ownership to his Love, his property his (land). He is willing to face charges of "conduct unbecoming" (see below) in his combat with the other man (the 'left hand' - Object - gnarly knave) - a man without "attribute" (distinguished character). The act of combat will be manly and contesting the results will have no impact. The Officer boasts assuredly of his crushing triumph over the "motley subject' the "slimy fiend."
". . . Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - The line from William Congreve's 1697 poem The Mourning Bride is: Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned/Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. It's a shame to lose the first half of the couplet in the misquotation, but the addition of 'hath' lends a charming Olde Worlde feel." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/10556095/Ten-literary-quotes-we-all-get-wrong.html
