_If thus we needs must go, What shall our one heart do, This one made of our two?_ Stanzas of this kind, consisting of three-foot trochaic and dactylic verses, as well as stanzas of four-foot iambic, iambic-anapaestic, trochaic, and dactylic verses, are also met with in the Modern period. Even more popular, however, are those of five-foot iambic verses, as e. g. in Dryden, pp. 393, 400, &c. Stanzas of longer verses, on the other hand, e.g. six-foot dactylic, seven-foot trochaic, iambic, or iambic-anapaestic and eight-foot trochaic verses, occur only occasionally in the more recent poets, e.g. Tennyson, Swinburne, R. Browning, D.G. Rossetti, &c. (cf. _Metrik_, ii, §§ 303-4). Some other Modern English anisometrical stanzas may also be mentioned, as one in Cowley with the formula _a₅ a₄ a₅_ in _Love's Visibility_ (Poets, v. 273): _With much of pain, and all the art I knew Have I endeavour'd hitherto To hide my love, and yet all will not do._ For other forms see _Metrik_, ii, § 305. § =252. Four-lined, one-rhymed stanzas= of four-foot verses (used in Low Latin, Provençal and Old French poetry, cf. _Metrik_, i, p. 369) are early met with in Middle English poems, as in Wright's _Spec. of Lyr. Poetry_, pp. 57 and 68. The first begins with these verses, which happen to show a prevailing trochaic rhythm. _Suete iesu, king of blysse, Myn huerte loue, min huerte lisse, Þou art suete myd ywisse, Wo is him þat þe shall misse._ _Suete iesu, myn huerte lyht, Þou art day withoute nyht; Þou ȝeue me streinþe ant eke myht, Forte louien þe aryht_. This simple form of stanza is also found in Modern English poetry; apparently, however, only in one of the earliest poets, viz. Wyatt (p. 36). It occurs also in Middle English, consisting of four-stressed, rhyming-alliterative long-lines, as e.g. in Wright's _Spec. of Lyr. Poetry_, p. 237; and of simple four-stressed long lines in Wyatt (p. 147), and Burns (pp. 253, 265, &c.). In Middle English poetry Septenary verses are often used in this way on the Low Latin model (cf. _Metrik_, i, pp. 90, 91, 370), as well as Septenary-Alexandrine verses, e.g. Wright's _Spec. of Lyr. Poetry_, p. 93: _Blessed be þou, leuedy, ful of heouene blisse, Suete flur of parays, moder of mildenesse, Preyȝe iesu, þy sone, þat he me rede and wysse So my wey forte gon, þat he me neuer misse._ In Modern English stanzas of this kind, consisting of Septenary verses, are of rare occurrence. We have an example in Leigh Hunt's _The jovial Priest's Confession_ (p. 338), a translation of the well-known poem ascribed to Walter Map, _Mihi est propositum in taberna mori_ (cf. §§ 135, 182). Shorter verses, e.g. iambic lines of three measures, are also very rarely used for such stanzas; e.g. in Donne and Denham (_Poets_, iv. 48 and v. 611).
