dee is used even in the fifth place, and such a verse is then called versus daicus:

Ambigulam tel|lure no va || Sala mina futuram. i. 7. 29.

ogaædic verses (λογαοιδικοί, i. e. verses combining the rhythm of prose verse) are those in which a series of dactyls is succeeded by a series of

hees.

3. Versus Alcaicus decasyllabus, composed of two dactyls and two tro

es:

[merged small][ocr errors]

Jam Cytherea chofros || dulcit Venus || imminente | Luna. i. 4. 5.

f. Versus Asynartēti.

Versus asynarteti (ἀσυνάρτητοι), 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.

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:

Dulce et | decorum est || pro patrila mori. iii. 2. 13.
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 dee is generally substituted for the iambus

Aedem que votivam memento. ii. 17. 31.
