Rhyme schemes by set partition

The rhyme scheme of a poem or stanza can be denoted by a pair (m,n), where m is the number of lines and 0≤n< A000041(m) denotes the set partition (compare  A231428).

Usually the last line will rhyme with some other line, so n implies m - e.g. all schemes between 5 and 14 imply four lines.

The first Bell(5) = 52 set partitions are shown on the right (with Tale of Genji chapter symbols). The first Bell(8) = 4140 are here.
