Octonaire
The Octonaire is a genre of early French poem, then chanson, with the text divided into eight-verse sections, or octonaries, after the model of Psalm 118.
Three poets wrote Octonaires de la vanité et inconstance du monde. The best known was Antoine de la [Roche Chandieu]. Claude [Le Jeune] and Paschal de L'Estocart both wrote collections of moral chansons, Octonaires de la vanité et inconstance du monde, with 19 texts common to both collections.
