Roundelay
The rondelet is a brief French form of poetry. It contains a single septet, refrain, a strict rhyme scheme and a distinct meter pattern.
Rondelet is the diminutive of rondel, a similar, longer verse form. This is the basic structure:
Line 1: A—four syllables
Line 2: b—eight syllables
Line 3: A—repeat of line one
Line 4: a—eight syllables
Line 5: b—eight syllables
Line 6: b—eight syllables
Line 7: A—repeat of line one
The refrained lines should contain the same words, however substitution or different use of punctuation on the lines has been common.
