  Virelay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virelay is the title applied to more than one fixed form of verse, from the French virer, "to turn or veer".
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.

In French the old and popular verses beginning "Adieu vous dy triste Lyre, C'est trop appreter a rire," form a perfect example of the New Virelay, and in English we have at least one admirable specimen in Mr Austin Dobson's "July" - "Good-bye to the Town!

One of the most common verse forms set to music in Europe from the late 13th to 15th centuries, the virelai is one of the three formes fixes (fixed forms; the others are the rondeau (DS-Spring 2003) and the ballade) that developed from common dance songs.
writer’s work to create definitions of the lai and virelai (by his definition, a “turned lai”, where the two rhymes are turned from stanza to stanza), which he called the virelai ancien (ancient virelai).
He also defined the virelai nouveau (new virelai), which bears no relation to the virelai ancien, and seems more similar to the villanelle.

 Guide to Verse Forms - Virelai Nouveau
The virelai nouveau is a difficult form to define with clarity.
One common arrangement (insofar as any kind of virelai nouveau is common) is to have 8-line stanzas and a 5-line envoi, rhyming abaaa (the last two lines being of course the refrain).
If you feel the urge to write a virelai nouveau, I recommend that you fight it, and write a villanelle instead.

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.

The virelai ancien is a medieval form that has done well to survive this long, and is unlikely to be widely mourned if it doesn't survive very much longer.
In truth, the virelai ancien seems to me to be much more of a test of ones ability to find rhymes than a recipe for writing a good poem.
The virelai post-moderne has no pedigree at all, and is nothing to do with any of them.

 Poetry: The Forms and the History Lai, Virelai and Lai Nouveau by Catherine Wilson
I’m assuming that it is a five-syllable line because it does stem from the Lai and even the Virelai follows that rule.
The Virelai uses the short lines to set the rhyme pattern of the next stanza.
For the Lai Nouveau, if I understand it correctly, the rhyme pattern is up to you but it has to be consistent throughout the eight-line stanzas.
