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)[reply]
