REDONDILLAS

Redondillas is the name given to a species of versification formerly used in the south of Europe, consisting of a union of verses of four, six or eight syllables, of which generally the first rhymed with the fourth, and the second with the third. At a later period verses of six and eight syllables in general, in Spanish and Portuguese poetry, were called redondillas, whether they made perfect rhymes or assonances only.
