the Retourne is all about repetition.
It contains: four quatrains and each line has eight syllables--(16 lines, 8/8/8/8)
Meter--tetrameter
~~~~~~~
The trick is that
***the FIRST stanza's SECOND line must also be the SECOND stanza's FIRST line,
***the FIRST stanza's THIRD line is the THIRD stanza's FIRST,
***and the FIRST stanza's FOURTH line is the FOURTH stanza's FIRST.
