A Roundel is syllabic with 3 Stanzas, 9 lines of the same length, and two shorter refrain lines which must be identical to the beginning of the first line.
There is NO set line length but iambic tetrameter or petrameter is common.
Rhyme Scheme: abaB bab abaB,
where B is the refrain after the third line and as the final line of the poem.
The refrain must be identical with the beginning of the first line:
it may be a half-line, and rhymes with the second line.
