The same manner of treatment may be found applied to words which end in _-lyng_, _-esse_, _-nesse_, and similar syllables, and which have a secondary accent on the last syllable and the chief accent on the preceding root-syllable. In Modern English verse the absence of a thesis between two accented syllables sometimes arises from phonetic conditions, i.e. from the pause which naturally takes place between two words which it is difficult to pronounce successively. This pause supplies the place of the missing thesis, as e.g. in the following lines: _And fírst cléns us fróm the fíend._ Townl. Myst. p. 9. _An óld témple there stánds, | whereás some tíme._ Surrey, p. 142. _And scórn the Stóry | thát the Kníght tóld._ Wyatt, p. 192. In other instances the emphasis laid upon a particular word compensates for the absence of the unaccented syllable, especially, if the accented syllable is long: e.g. _And thóu, Fáther, | recéive intó thy hánds._ Surrey, p. 142. _Júst as you léft them | áll prísoners, sír._ Shak. Temp. V. i. 8. _My ówn lóve, | my ónly déar._ Moore. _Mórning, évening, | nóon and night Práise Gód, | sang Théocríte._ R. Browning, ii. 158. This licence is of frequent occurrence in even-beat measures. § =87.= Another metrical peculiarity caused by the influence of the rhythm is the =lengthening= of a word by the introduction of an unaccented extra syllable, commonly an _e_, to supply a thesis lacking between two accented syllables. This occurs in Middle English and in Modern English poetry also. (i) In disyllabic words, commonly those with a first syllable ending with a mute, the second beginning with a liquid, e.g.: _Of Éng(e)lónd | to Cáunterbúry they wénde._ Chauc. Prol. 16. _If yóu will tárry, | hóly píl(e)grím_. Shakesp. All's Well, III. v. 43. (ii) In Modern English poetry only in certain monosyllabic words ending in _r_ or _re_, preceded by a diphthong, as e.g. in _our_, _hour_, _fire_, &c., e.g.: _So dóth he féel | his fíre mánifóld._ Wyatt, 205. This peculiarity will be mentioned again in the next chapter.
