1. ballade

   A ballade is a form of medieval and Renaissance French poetry, often set to music. It typically consists of three main stanzas, each with the same rhyme scheme, followed by a shorter concluding stanza or "envoi." Each stanza concludes with a refrain (a repeated line or phrase). Ballades are also a genre of solo instrumental music or a one-movement work typically lyrical in nature, particularly popular in romantic music.

1. Ballade

   The ballade is a form of medieval and Renaissance French poetry as well as the corresponding musical chanson form. It was one of the three formes fixes and one of the verse forms in France most commonly set to music between the late 13th and the 15th centuries. The ballade as a verse form typically consists of three eight-line stanzas, each with a consistent metre and a particular rhyme scheme. The last line in the stanza is a refrain. The stanzas are often followed by a four-line concluding stanza usually addressed to a prince. The rhyme scheme is therefore usually 'ababbcbC ababbcbC ababbcbC bcbC', where the capital 'C' is a refrain. The many different rhyming words that are needed makes the form more difficult for English than for French poets. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in the form. It was revived in the 19th century by English-language poets including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Charles Swinburne. Other notable English-language ballade writers are Andrew Lang and G. K. Chesterton. A humorous example is Wendy Cope's 'Proverbial Ballade'.
