I looked at the first 10-15 examples in common meter I came across (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Emily Dickinson, - everything Wikipedia refers to and some more) and not a single one sticks to 8686. Not even the lyrics to Gilligan's Island.

"Because I could not stop for Death" is the strictest - Rime of the Ancient Mariner goes all over the shop.

Which examples were you thinking of Milo?
