We have the same metre (two anapaests following the first iambic measure) in Rowe, Shenstone, Moore, and others, sometimes with alternate masculine and feminine rhymes. § =196.= The =two-foot iambic-anapaestic verse= sprang from the breaking-up of the corresponding four-foot (or four-stressed) line by inserted or leonine rhyme, as we find it even in the Middle English bob-wheel stanzas; in Modern English we have it in Tusser for the first time: _Ill húsbandry brággeth To gó with the bést, Good húsbandry bággeth Up góld in his chést. Ill húsbandry lóseth For lácke of good fénce, Good húsbandry clóseth And gaíneth the pénce._ This metre is used by Gay, Goldsmith, Scott, Moore, Longfellow, Robert Browning, and others; it is also found with an anapaest following the first iambic measure, and either with masculine and feminine rhymes alternately, as in the example quoted above, or (as is most usual) with these rhymes in indiscriminate succession. § =197.= The =one-foot iambic-anapaestic verse= occasionally occurs in the Middle English bob-wheel stanzas. In Modern English we find it only as an element in anisometrical stanzas, as e.g. in the following half-stanza of Shelley's _Autumn_ (iii. 65): _The ch+í+ll r+ai+n is fálling, the n+í+pt w+o+rm is cráwling, The rívers are swelling, the thúnder is knélling For the yéar; The blithe swállows are flówn, and the lízards each góne To his dwélling._ In Shakespeare's _Midsummer Night's Dream_, III. ii. 448-63 (apart from the four-foot trochaic end-lines of the half-stanzas), we also have such verses apparently; the iambic-anapaestic character being clearly shown by a couplet like the following: _When thou wákest, Thou tákest._[174] II. Trochaic-dactylic Metres. § =198.= These are much rarer than the iambic-anapaestic metres. Specimens of all of them are quoted, but some are only theoretical examples invented by, and repeated from, English or American metrists. Theoretically the acatalectic dactylic verse in its rhymed form ought always to have trisyllabic or at least feminine caesura and ending. As a fact, however, these metres have just as frequently or perhaps more frequently masculine caesuras and rhymes. The =eight-foot trochaic-dactylic verse=, alternating occasionally with iambic-anapaestic lines, occurs in Longfellow's _The Golden Legend_, iv:[175] Elsie. _Ónward and ónward the híghway rúns || to the dístant cíty, | impátiently béaring Tídings of húman jóy and disáster, || of lóve and of háte, | of dóing and dáring!_ Prince Henry. _This lífe of óurs | is a wíld aeólian hárp | of mány a jóyous stráin, But únder them áll there rúns | a lóud perpétual wáil, | as of sóuls in páin._ Elsie.
