| Description: | | A three-line stanza rhymed AAa. The second line is a
variant (incremental repeton) of the first line, usually written in loose iambic pentameter. It would not at all be unusual for the complete song to be a
complaint or lamentation. It’s not unusual for the lines to be broken by a cæsura, or pause, between phrases. | | |
