Yes, I know, this IS the Frances Cornford thread... apologies.
But proof that Chesterton knew a triolet when he saw one. Not a brilliant example, but still:
TRIOLET
G.K. Chesterton
I wish I were a jelly fish
That cannot fall downstairs;
Of all the things I wish to wish
I wish I were a jellyfish
That hasn't any cares
And doesn't even have to wish
'I wish I were a jellyfish
That cannot fall downstairs.'
