A Quatrain is a stylised form of writing, typically poetic, consisting of four lines. This term is commonly used when referring to the work of Nostradamus, since most of his predictions were rendered as quatrains, and to the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam.

[edit] An example quatrain

The deceiver shall be spawned from the unholy bitch,
The young shall rush to learn from his wisdom and become a fan,
Their sensible questions derided and tossed in to the ditch,
Their education in tatters graduating with godspeed and a ban.
The moving finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on, nor all thy piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.
