you see, that's why its so interesting to make strategic use of breaks and enjambment in sonnets - the breaks are preordained, so you accentuate them with the grammar/sentence structure running through the breaks for a couple of feet - not hogwild, but selectively and strategically.  in free verse its  more of the reverse. In both cases, though, sound dictates the limit of what's acceptable.  At least in my book.
