Optimal format for poetry memorization?

I am memorizing La Divina Comedia, and I am currently using a cloze-deletion format where each card presents two consecutive verses and asks for the subsequent verse.

I cannot find any evidence on whether this is an optimal or even a defensible format for the task at hand.

There are cases where the deleted verse is grammatically and syntactically unrelated to the preceding text, making it particularly difficult to recall the specific sequence of verses. It makes me wonder whether there exists already an established, tested format for active recall of long-form poetry.

Any suggestions/speculations are appreciated.
