for the sea and the sky!" The New Virelay is entirely written on two rhymes, and begins with two lines which are destined to form recurrent refrains throughout the whole course of the poem, and, reversed in order, to close it with a couplet.
The virelay is a vaguer and less vertebrate form of verse than the sonnet, the ballad or the villanelle, and is of less importance than these in the history of prosody.

 Virelai
A virelai is a form of medieval French verse used often in poetry and music.
It is one of the three formes fixes (the others were the ballade and the rondeau), and was one of the most common verse forms set to music in Europe from the late 13th to the 15th centuries.
One of the most famous composers of virelai is Guillaume de Machaut (1300–1377), who also wrote his own verse; 33 separate compositions in the form survive by him.

 Work: The Virelai Postmoderne
The virelai postmoderne (so called to distinguish it from the virelai ancien and the virelai moderne) is an invention of Bob Newman, who has an amusing and informative site which outlines a great many poetic forms, western, eastern, and some of his own invention, all illustrated with his own rather silly poems.
The distinguishing feature of the virelai postmoderne is that the two most obvious repeating features of verse, the metrical or syllabic pattern and the rhyme scheme, are "out of phase" — that is, the two features take different numbers of poetic lines to repeat.
You can do this either by using two 5-syllable lines (perhaps the first lines of two of the stanzas) either side of a 7-syllable line, or by dropping two syllables from each of the outer lines if they are originally 7 syllables (ensuring that the lines still make sense).

The Present author is aware that this is a terrible mess, and sorry he is unable to provide you with any example, as he himself suspects none exists (although Chaucer's virelai is in coblas capifinidas and resembles our definition a bit), and that this metre is merely a speculation.
Banville's 'Virelai a mes editeurs' is a good example, and Tennyson is said to have written something in this style as well.
This as far as the theory goes; actual virelais generally appear as a disorderly sequences, in which the two rhymes of the first stanza are used alternately in the other ones, and the first line also concludes every even stanza, and the poem.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Dictionary Fm - Fo
Early chansons tended to be in one of the formes fixes, ballade, rondeau or virelai, though some composers later set popular poetry in a variety of forms
The form at this time was probably a development of connoisseurs, and sung by small groups of cognoscenti; there is no evidence of its widespread popularity, unlike the later kind of madrigal.
By the end of the 14th-century it had fallen out of favor, with other forms (for example the ballata, the virelai, the rondeau) taking precedence, some of which were even more highly refined and ornamented.
