        lively, cheerful character, in which the first strain

  Rondeau \Ron*deau"\, n. [F. See {Roundel}.] [Written also
     {rondo}.]
     1. A species of lyric poetry so composed as to contain a
        refrain or repetition which recurs according to a fixed
        law, and a limited number of rhymes recurring also by
        rule.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: When the rondeau was called the rondel it was mostly
           written in fourteen octosyllabic lines of two rhymes,
           as in the rondels of Charles d'Orleans. . . . In the
           17th century the approved form of the rondeau was a
           structure of thirteen verses with a refrain. --Encyc.
