The Repetition of the same Phrase at regular Intervals<\/p>\n
Cy-clo-id-es means having the form of a circle; from (kuklos). a circle, and (eidos), form.<\/p>\n
The figure is so called because the sentence or phrase is repeated at intervals, as though in regular circles.<\/p>\n
When this repetition occurs at the end of successive passages, as in poetry, in the form of a Refrain or Burden, it is called AMBAEON (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ). But when it occurs at the beginning or middle or any other part of the passage it is called Cycloides.<\/p>\n

Psa 56:4; Psa 56:10 (5, 11).-Where we have the sentence repeated, to emphasize the fact that when our enemies seem mightiest, we can say, In God will I praise His word.<\/p>\n
