incremental repetition
verse
a device used in poetry of the oral tradition, especially English and Scottish ballads, in which a line is repeated in a changed context or with minor changes in the repeated part. The device is illustrated in the following stanzas (stanza) from the ballad “Lord Randal”:
“O where ha' you been, Lord Randal, my son?
And where ha' you been, my handsome young man?”
“I ha' been at the greenwood; mother, mak my bed soon,
For I'm wearied wi' huntin', and fain wad lie down.”
“And wha met ye there, Lord Randal, my son?
And wha met you there, my handsome young man?”
O I met wi' my true-love; mother, mak my bed soon,
For I'm wearied wi' huntin', and fain wad lie down.”
