* 1945 The Anglo-American ballad study book: containing eight ballads in current tradition in the United States of America

Most northern and west European ballads are written in ballad stanzas or quatrains ( four-line stanzas ) of alternating lines of iambic ( an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable ) tetrameter ( eight syllables ) and iambic trimeter ( six syllables ), known as ballad meter.

However, there is considerable variation on this pattern in almost every respect, including length, number of lines and rhyming scheme, making the strict definition of a ballad extremely difficult.

The Yuefu is a folk ballad or a poem written in the folk ballad style, and the number of lines and the length of the lines could be irregular.

The poem is a ballad, meaning that the lines do not necessarily have equal numbers of syllables.

Hence it may also refer to the pattern of lines and accents in the verse of a hymn or ballad, for example, and so to the organization of music into regularly recurring measures or bars of stressed and unstressed " beats ", indicated in Western music notation by a time signature and bar-lines.

The early colonist George Fletcher Moore included in his 1831 ballad So Western Australia for me the lines:

The word " field " in English has a strong association with " war ", as evidenced by the expression " the first foe in the field " and the lines of the ballad ' Lord Marlborough ' ( see John Churchill ): " You generals all and champions bold, that takes delight in field, that knocks down churches and castle walls but now to death must yield ".

The ballad includes the lines:

A number of its lines and the general plot resemble those of a contemporary broadside ballad " Patrick Fleming " ( also called " Patrick Flemmen he was a Valiant Soldier ") about an Irish highwayman executed in 1650.

The lines of the yuefu can be of uneven length, reflecting its origins as a type of fixed-rhythm verse derived from now lost folk ballad tunes ; although, later, the five-character fixed-line length became common.

Nevertheless, the first ballad includes the lines

The most famous lines of this ballad are:

" The song has the form of a Broadside " come-all-ye " ballad opening with the lines

The final lines of the ballad insist upon the veracity of the tale and even that the children's bones may be seen for proof displayed at the Cheshire Cheese.

The difference is that ballad metre is " less regular and more conversational " than common metre, and does not necessarily rhyme both sets of lines.

Only the second and fourth lines must rhyme in ballad metre, in the pattern x-a-x-a.

( Note that the first two lines actually contain anapaests in place of iambs ; this is an example of how ballad metre is metrically less strict than common metre ).

They can be sung either straight through in stanzas of four lines each, or in stanzas of two lines each repeating the first line three times depending on how long the performer would like the ballad to last.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge adopted the ballad stanza in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, alternating eight and six syllable lines.
