Edward Fitzgerald was the first poet of any importance in English to use the Rubaiyat stanza, so named because that is the title of the Persian poem by Omar Khayyàm that Fitzgerald paraphrased.  The four-line units rhyme aaxa, the third line not matching anything. Every now and then it occurs to a poet to revive this form, but it is not really much used.

                    A BOOK of Verses underneath the Bough,
                A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou
                  Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
                O, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
 

                Some for the Glories of This World; and some
                Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come;
                  Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,
                Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
                                    --Edward Fitzgerald
