[edit]ABBA is a rhyme scheme; not a musical structure. I believe the author means a quatrain would correspond to 8 measures with some regularity, such as indicated by the performance of the example poem on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Pb_jpSyiE - the second half has the lyrics) However, in the tercets, the AABAAB rhyme structures as shown in the example
Qu'adès sans tricherie Chierie Vous ay et humblement Tous les jours de ma vie Servie Sans villain pensement.
are sung in the same performance on varying measures of up to 9 in a round. This indicates invariably is an overstatement for the middle stanzas, while the first and last adhere to the 4 lines for eight measures arrangement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forestwhite (talk • contribs) 06:21, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
