Analysis of Easy is the Triolet
William Ernest Henley 1849 (Gloucester) – 1903 (Woking)
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!
