Captured (Triolet)
My heart is given only unto thee
As I am a slave to wanton desire
Without you, I shan’t ever be free
My heart is given only unto thee
I ask, your power not release me
Else, I would burn in eternal fire
My heart is given only unto thee
As I am a slave to wanton desire
Triolet Its rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB and all lines are in iambic tetrameter; the
first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines,
thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well.
