fytte

So the word fytte has gained a technical appropriation to our narrative poetry when it takes the ballad form.

So much is told in the first fytte, which corresponds roughly to our ballad.

One fytte of Lucilla's history is here ended, and another is to be told.

A portion or division of a poem, a canto, in this sense often spelled “fytte.”

We can always calculate upon the duration of each ‘fytte,’ as none ever exceeds the fourteenth spasm.
