Starting on this page (http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/glossary_of_poetic_terms.htm), from the website http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk, there is a quite good glossary of poetic terms, poetic movements, etc., all organized alphabetically.

Thanks Saposcat alkis
Also;
William Shakespeare
1564-1616
Good friend, for Jesus' sake forebeare
To digg the dust enclosed heare;
Bleste be the man that spares thes stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones
is there a kind of this poem or is it just a quatrain?

This is the poem inscribed on William Shakespeare's tomb. As you guessed, it is just a quatrain—which is a type of poem in itself, a four-line poem specifically. This one has the rhyme scheme AABB.
