_Hásten, Lórd, who árt my Hélper; | lét thine áid be spéedy._ The verses quoted on p. 128 are incorrect in so far as the caesura occurs at an unusual place, viz. in the middle of the fourth foot, instead of after it, as in the example just quoted. They show, however, the origin of a pretty frequently occurring anisorhythmical stanza, which is derived from this metre by means of the use of inserted rhyme; lines 1 and 3 having a trochaic, lines 2 and 4, on the other hand, an iambic rhythm; cf. e.g. the following stanza from a poem by Suckling (_Poets_, iii. 741): _Sáy, but díd you lóve so lóng? In trúth I néeds must bláme you: Pássion did your júdgement wróng, Or wánt of réason sháme you._ When there are masculine rhymes throughout, the stanza is felt distinctly as consisting of alternate lines of four and three feet (_a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃_). The seven-foot rhythm, however, remains, if the three-foot half-lines only have masculine endings, and the four-foot half-lines remain feminine; as is the case in Swinburne's poem _Clear the Way_ (_Mids. Hol._, p. 143): _Cléar the wáy, my lórds and láckeys, | yóu have hád your dáy. Hére you háve your ánswer, Éngland's | yéa against your náy; Lóng enóugh your hóuse has héld you: | up, and cléar the wáy!_ This, of course, is likewise the case, if the verses are broken up into stanzas by inserted rhyme (_a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃_). More frequently than this correct seven-foot verse, with either a feminine or masculine ending, we find the incorrect type, consisting of a catalectic and a brachycatalectic dimeter, according to the model of the well-known Low Latin verse: _Mihi est propositum | in taberna mori_, which is often confounded with the former (cf. § 135). The following first stanza of a poem by Suckling (_Poets_, iii. 471) is written in exact imitation of this metre: _Óut upón it, Í have lóved | thrée whole dáys tógether; Ánd am líke to lóve three móre, | íf it próve fair wéather._ Although only the long lines rhyme, the stanza is commonly printed in short lines (_a₄ b₃ ~ c₄ b₃ ~_). Still more frequently we find short-lined stanzas of the kind (_a₄ b₃ ~ a₄ b₃ ~_) as well as the other sub-species with masculine rhymes only: _a₄ b₃ a₄ b₃_. § =183.= The =six-foot trochaic line= occurs chiefly in Modern English, and appears both in acatalectic (feminine) and catalectic (masculine) form; e.g. in Swinburne _The Last Oracle_ (_Poems and Ballads_, ii. 1): _Dáy by dáy thy shádow | shínes in héaven behólden, Éven the sún, the shíning | shádow óf thy fáce: Kíng, the wáys of héaven | befóre thy féet grow gólden; Gód, the sóul of éarth | is kíndled wíth thy gráce._ Strictly the caesura ought to occur after the third foot, as it does in the first line; generally, however, it is within the third foot, and so this metre as well as the stanza formed by insertion of rhyme acquires an anisorhythmical character, as e.g. in the following quatrain by Moore:
