f. Versus Asynartēti.

Versus asynarteti (aσvváρrηтo), that is, unconnected verses, are those ich consist of two or more members, connected, however, as loosely as verse with another. The first and last syllables, therefore, of each memare doubtful, and no elision takes place, in case the last letter of one mber and the first of the other are vowels. Many are of opinion that se verses, being in effect separate verses, should be printed as such. 20. Versus iambelĕgus, consisting of a versus iambicus dimeter acatelectus e No. 1), and a versus Archilochius minor (see No. 14):

22. Versus Alcaicus hendecasyllabus, consisting of an iambus, bacchius, and o dactyls, with a cæsura after the bacchius; a spondee is generally used stead of an iambus: :

Tumultuosum || sollicitat mare. iii. 1. 26.

The cæsura is neglected in i. 16. 21 ; i. 37. 5 and 14; ii. 17. 21 ; iii. 2. 5; iv. 14. 17. In ii. 20. 13 is a hiatus in the cæsura.

23. Versus Alcaicus enneasyllabus, consisting of an iambus, bacchius, and two trochees. A spondee is generally substituted for the iambus:

Aedem que voti vam memento. ii. 17. 31.

In ii. 3. 27, elision takes place between the last syllable and the first of the succeeding verse, thus removing the syllable apparently superabundant.

25. Versus Anacreonticus, which is a versus Ionicus a minore tetrameter acatalectus:
