The preceding twenty-five lines contain but twelve forms or varieties in the arrangement of dactyls and spondees. Besides these, other forms are found in the subsequent parts of the poem. The following are the forms exhibited in the preceding lines, of which the first occurs five times, the second and third four times each, the fourth three times, the fifth twice, and each of the others once only.

OF THE CESURA OF THE FOOT AND OF THE RHYTHM.

An examination of the preceding lines will show, that in the number and distribution of the cæsuras there is great variety. In the first line, e. g. there are three cæsuras of the foot, viz. in the first, second and

third feet, each of which is likewise a cæsura of the rhythm, § 309. In the second line are four cæsuras of the foot, viz. in the second, third, fourth and fifth feet, all of which, except that in the fifth foot, are likewise cæsuras of the rhythm. A cæsura of the kind found in the fifth foot of this line is sometimes called the feminine, or the trochaic cæsura. See Gr. § 310, N. 1. In the 21st line are five cæsuras of the foot, of which the first four are likewise cæsuras of the rhythm.

OF THE CESURAL PAUSE.

The cæsural pause in twenty of the preceding lines, is that which is denominated the heroic casura, ý 310, 4; and in each of these cases coincides with the cæsura of the foot and of the rhythm in the third foot. In the 8th, 13th, 16th, 18th, and 19th lines, the pause occurs after the arsis of the fourth foot, although in each of these lines a cæsura of the foot occurs in the third foot, ý 310, 5. See ý 310, N. 2.

ELEGIAC VERSE.

The Epistles of Ovid and many of his other poems are composed in alternate hexameter and pentameter lines; which combination is called Elegiac verse, §311, R. 2. The pentameter like the hexameter line belongs to the dactylic metre, because the dactyl is its principal foot, § 304, 2. According to the more usual division of this kind of verse, however, it is resolved into two hemistichs, ◊ 304, 1-"the first consisting of two feet, either dactyls or spondees, followed by a long syllable; the last, of two dactyls, also followed by a long syllable,” ◊ 311, III., R. 1.

The following are examples of Elegiac verse, divided into the feet of which the several lines are composed. The lines are taken from the beginning of the Epistle of Deïanira to Hercules, and are arranged in couplets, the first being a hexameter and the second a pentameter line. The place of the Casural pause is marked by double perpendicular lines.
