Rose kissed me today.
Will she kiss me tomorrow?
Let it be as it may,
Rose kissed me today;
But the pleasure soon gives way
To a savor of sorrow;
Rose kissed me today
Will she kiss me tomorrow?
--Austin Dobson
EASY
is the Triolet,
If you really learn to make it!
Once a neat refrain you get,
Easy is the Triolet.
As you see!--I pay my debt
With another rhyme. Deuce take it,
Easy is the Triolet,
If you really learn to make it!
--William Ernest Henley
I
INTENDED an Ode,
And it turned to a Sonnet.
It began à la mode,
I intended an Ode;
But Rose cross'd the road
In her latest new bonnet;
I intended an Ode;
And it turned to a Sonnet.
--Austin Dobson
Triolet.
Jenin l'Avenu,
Jenin l'Avenu
Va-t-en aux estuves;
Go off to the public baths
Et toy la venu,
And once you are there
Jehin l'Avenu,
Jenin l'Avenue
Si te lave nud
Also wash yourself naked
Et te baigne es cuves. And
bathe yourself
Jenin l'Avenu,
Jenin l'Avenu
Va-t-en aux estuves.
Go off to the public baths.
--François Villon
