Vitaē sūmmă brě- | vīs spēm | nõs větăt, || închỏ- ¦ ārě | lõngam. Hor. The caesural pause is between the two members. II. ALCAIC VERSE.-This consists of two Dactyls followed by two Trochees: Purpůrě- | ☎ vări- | ûs co- lōre. Hor. III. ARISTOPHANIC VERSE.-This consists of a Dactyl followed by two Trochees: This verse is variously named, Aristophanic, Choriambic Dimeter, and Choriambic Dimeter Catalectic. IV. SAPPHIC VERSE.—This prefixes to the Aristophanic a Trochaic Dipody consisting of a Trochee and a Spondee (690. I.). The scale is, bina. Hor. Sapphic verse may be classed at pleasure either with the Logaoedic verses, as here, or with the Epichoriambic verses, as in article 690. I. V. PHALAECIAN VERSE-This consists of a Spondee, a Dactyl, and three Trochees: Nōn ēst | vivěrě, il sēd vå- ¦ lērě | vīta. Mart. This verse is sometimes called, from the number of its syllables, Hendecasyllabic, of eleven syllables. It does not occur in Horace. In Catullus it sometimes has a Trochee, or an Iambus, in the first place. VIII. MISCELLANEOUS VERSES. 692. GREATER ALCAIC VERSE.-This consists of an Iambic Penthemimeris and a pure Dactylic Dimeter, i. e., an Iambic Dipody, a long syllable and two Dactyls: 2 | - || 2 ~ ~ | ~ ~ ~ Vidės út al- | tā || stēt nĭvě | candidum Sōrac- tě něc | jām || sūstĭně- | ānt õnŭs. Hor. 1. The Caesural Pause is usually between the two members. 2. In Horace the first foot is generally a Spondee. 3. This verse forms the first and second lines of the Alcaic Stanza. See 700. I. 693. DACTYLICO-IAMBIC VERSE.-This consists of a pure Dactylic Penthemimeris (656. 2) and an Iambic Dimeter (685): - པ པ །- ་ Jussus ǎb-| īrě dŏ- | mũm, || fĕrē- băr în- | cērtō pède. Hor. 1. This verse is sometimes called Elegiambus. 2. This verse and the following compounds-the Iambico-Dactylic and the Priapeian-have the peculiarity that the two members of each may be treated as separate lines, as the last syllable of the first member is common, as at the end of a line. 694. IAMBICO-DACTYLIC VERSE.-This consists of an Iambic Dimeter and a Dactylic Penthemimeris, i. e., of the same parts as the preceding, but in an inverted order: L 13 Nives- que de- | dûcûnt Jŏvēm: || nunc mărě, | nunc silŭ- | ae. Hor. 1. This verse is sometimes called Iambelegus. 2. For the final syllable of the first member, see 693. 2. 695. PRIAPEIAN VERSE.-This consists of a Glyconic and a Pherecratēan (689. I. II.): Quercus | ārĭdă rūs- | tĭcā || cōnfōr- | mătă secu- | ri. Catul. 1. In this verse, as it appears in Catullus, the Glyconic and the Pherecratean appear with such variations as are allowed in that poet (688). Hence the Trochee quercus for the Spondee, in the example. 2. For the final syllable of the first member, sce 693. 2. SECTION III. THE VERSIFICATION OF VIRGIL, HORACE, OVID, AND JUVENAL. 696. VIRGIL AND JUVENAL.-Virgil in his Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid, and Juvenal in his Satires use only the Dactylic Hexameter. See 671. 697. OVID.-Ovid uses the Hexameter in his Metamor phoses, but the Elegiac Distich in his Epistles and other works. See 676. 2. 698. HORACE.-Horace uses the Hexameter in his Epistles and Satires, but in his Lyrics, i. e., in his Odes and Epodes, he uses a great variety of Metre. 699. LYRICS OF HORACE.-Most of the Odes and Epodes consist of Stanzas of two, three, or four verses; but a few of them consist entirely of a single kind of verse. LYRIC METRES OF HORACE. 700.
