  1. Tripletnoun

    Etymology: from triple.

    There sit C —— nts, D —— ks, and Harrison,
    How they swagger from their garrison;
    Such a triplet could you tell
    Where to find on this side hell. Jonathan Swift.

    Waller was smooth, but John Dryden taught to join
    The varying verse, the full resounding line,
    The long majestick march and energy divine. Alexander Pope.

    Some wretched lines from this neglected hand
    May find my Hero on the foreign strand,
    Warm with new fires, and pleas’d with new command. Matthew Prior.

    I frequently make use of triplet rhymes, because they bound the sense, making the last verse of the triplet a pindarick. John Dryden, Æn.
