In Milton, e.g., we find a stanza corresponding to the formula _a b₅ c d₃_, in his imitation of the fifth Ode of Horace, Book I, used also by Collins, _Ode to Evening_ (_Poets_, ix. 526): _If áught of oáten stóp or pástoral sóng May hópe, chast Éve, to soóthe thy módest éar Like thý own sólemn spríngs Thy spríngs and dýing gáles._ Southey uses the same stanza (ii. 145); to him we owe several other rhymeless stanzas of the form _a b₄ c d 3_ (ii. 212), _a₃ b c₄ d₃_ (ii. 210) (both of anapaestic verses), _a b c₄ d₃_ (ii. 148), _a₃ b c₅ d₃_ (ii. 159), _a₄ b c₃ d₅_ (ii. 182), _a b₄ c₅ d₃_ (ii. 187), _a₄ b₃ c₅ d₃_ (ii. 189); all consisting of iambic verses. The same poet also uses a stanza of five iambic lines of the form _a₅ b₃ c₄ d e₃_ (iii. 255), and another of the form _a₅ b₃ c₅ d₄ e₃_ in his ode _The Battle of Algiers_ (iii. 253): _One dáy of dréadful occupátion móre, Ere Éngland's gállant shíps Sháll, of their béauty, pómp, and pówer disróbed, Like séa-birds ón the súnny máin, Rock ídly ín the pórt._ A stanza of similar construction (formula _a b c₅ d e₃_ is used by Mrs. Browning in _The Measure_ (iii. 114). Various isometrical and anisometrical stanzas of this kind occur in Lord Lytton's _Lost Tales of Miletus_; one of these consists of three of Coleridge's Hendecasyllabics, followed by one masculine verse of similar form, and has the formula _a ~ b ~ c ~ d₅_; it is used, e. g., in _Cydippe_: _Fáirest and hárdiest óf the yóuths in Céos Flóurish'd Acóntius frée from lóve's sweet tróuble, Púre as when fírst a chíld, in hér child-chórus, Chánting the góddess óf the silver bów._ In another stanza used in _The Wife of Miletus_ an ordinary masculine blank verse alternates with a Hendecasyllabic; a third of the form _a b c d₄_ consists of trochaic verses. Other stanzas of ordinary five- and three-foot verses used by him in the _Lost Tales_ have the formulas _a b₅ c₃ d₅_, _a b c₅ d₃_, _a ~ b ~₅ c₃ d₅_. In another stanza (_Corinna_), constructed after the formula _a b₄ c d₃_, a dactylic rhythm prevails: _Gláucon of Lésbos, the són of Euphórion, Búrned for Corinna, the blúe-eyed Milésian. Nor móther nor fáther hád she; Béauty and wéalth had the órphan._ Stanzas of a similar kind consisting of trochaic verses are used by Longfellow; one of the form _a₃ b c₄ d ~₂_ in _To an old Danish Song Book_, and another which corresponds to the formula _a b₅ c₂ d₅_ in _The Golden Mile-Stone_.
