The following information is about Envelope.
Envelope Defined
A poetic device in which a line, phrase, or stanza is repeated so as to enclose other material, as in Dryden's:
What passion cannot Music raise and quell!
When Jubal struck the corded shell,
His listening brethren stood around,
And, wondering, on their faces fell
To worship that celestial sound.
Less than a god they thought there could not dwell
Within the hollow of that shell
That spoke so sweetly and so well.
What passion cannot Music raise and quell!
Sidelight: The term can apply to rhyme as well. The rhyme scheme abba in a quatrain is termed an envelope rhyme since the rhymes of the first and last lines enclose the other lines.
(Compare Chain Verse, Chiasmus, Rondeau)
