" A larger selection would be easier from Villon's contemporary, Charles of Orleans, long- time a prisoner in England,— a poet far less energetic and not so disenchanted, but possess- 156 Digitized by VjOOQ IC FAMILIAR VERSE ing by birth *'the manners and tone of good society. " Stevenson especially praised his rondels for their ''inimitabl...e lightness and delicacy of touch " and declared that the royal lyrist's " lines go with a lilt and sing themselves to music of their own." The rondel was the fixed form in which Charles of Orleans was most often successful, altho he frequently attempted the ballade also. This larger form the later Clement Marot managed with assured mastery. One of the best known of his more playful poems is the ballade d double refrain setting forth the duplicity of 'Brother Lubin/ a poem which has been rendered into English both by Bryant and Longfellow, —altho neither of them held himself bound by the strict letter of the law that prescribes the limitation and the ordering of the rimes properly to be expected in the ballade.
