14th-century poets relied on several devices to make their verses easy to memorize, including rhyme, alliteration, and meter. Rhyme provided a musical quality that aided recall, while alliteration created a rhythmic flow that enhanced memorization. Additionally, the use of regular meter established a predictable pattern, making it easier for listeners to remember the lines. Together, these techniques contributed to the oral tradition of poetry during that time.
