Terza RimaA poem in triplets, in which the second or middle line rhymes with the first and third lines of the succeeding triplets. In the beginning of the poem lines 1 and 3 rhyme independently, and the poem must end with the first line of a new triplet. Dante's Divine Comedy is in this metre, and Byron has adopted it in The Prophecy of Dante. The scheme is as follows. - -1a x2a feel (a new rhyme for 1b and 3b). -3a 1b heal x2b cries (a new rhyme for 1c and 4c). 3b steal 1c skies 2c place—(a new rhyme for 1d and 3d) 3c arise 1d race x2d ( a new rhyme for 1e and 3e) 3d space etc etc. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Terza Rima from Infoplease:
