Answer
Yes, Edmund Spenser was the first poet to use the Spenserian stanza, a nine-line stanza with an ABABCCDDC rhyme scheme. He used the stanza in his epic poem The Faerie Queene, which was published in 1590. The Spenserian stanza is a complex and challenging form, but it has been used by many poets since Spenser, including William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Alfred Tennyson.
