The Ronsardian ode (named after Pierre de Ronsard 1524-1585) is the only kind of ode that specifies a particular rhyming scheme - ababccddc, with syllable counts of 10, 4, 10, 4, 10, 10, 4, 4, 8. The meter is iambic.
An ode is a short lyric poem that praises an individual, an idea, or an event. In ancient Greece, odes were originally accompanied by music - in fact, the word "ode" comes from the Greek word aeidein, which means to sing or to chant. Odes are often ceremonial, and formal in tone.
