A: (×) ⏑́ × (×) × –́ ×. B: (×) ×̀ × –́ (×) ×̀ × ⏑́ ×. C: (×) ×̀ × ⏑́ × –́ ×, &c. Other variations may be effected by disyllabic or even polysyllabic theses in the beginning ('anacruses') or in the middle of the verse instead of monosyllabic theses. Apart from these another frequently occurring variation of type C must be mentioned which corresponds to the formula (×) ×̀ × –́ × –́ ×, and may be designated (with Professors Paul and Luick) as type Cª, because the position of its accented syllables points to type C, while on the other hand it bears a certain resemblance to type A. The following examples, many of which have been quoted before by Luick, may serve to illustrate these types of short lines or rather hemistichs and their combination in couplets or long lines, in which a normal hemistich is often followed by a lengthened one and vice versa: A* + A*: _Stróng hit ìs to rówe | ayèyn þe sée þat flóweþ._ Prov. x. 145-6. A* + A*: _And swá heo gùnnen wénden | fórð tò þan kínge._ Lay. 13811-12. A*+ A*: _ne míhte wè bilǽue | for líue nè for dǽþe._ ib. 13875-6. B + A*: _ùmbe =f=íftène ȝer | þat =f=ólc is isómned._ ib. 13855-6. A* + C*: _ǽveràlche ȝére | heo bèreð chíld þére._ ib. 13871-2. B* + B*: _þèr com =H=éngest, þèr com =H=órs, | þèr com míni mòn ful óht._ ib. 14009-10. B* + B*: _ànd þe clérek ànd þe knýht, | he schùlle démen èuelyche ríht._ Prov. iv. 78-9. Cª+ C*: _þèr þes =c=níhtes =c=ómen | bifòren þan fólc-=k=ínge._ Lay. 13817-18. C* + A*: _ȝìf heo gríð sóhten, | and of his fréondscipe róhten?_ ib. 13803-4. C* + Cª: _hìt beoð tíðénde | ìnne Sǽxe lónde._ ib. 14325-6. A* + C*: _for he wólde wìð þan kínge | hòlden rúnínge._ ib. 14069-70. A* + D*: _heo sǽden tò þan kínge | néowe tíðènden._ ib. 13996-7. A* + D*: _and míd him bròuhte hére | an húndred rídǣ̀ren._ ib. 15088-9. E* + B*: _Hǽngest wès þan kìnge léof | ànd him Líndesàȝe géf._ ib. 14049-50. Types with resolutions: A* + A*: _and þ=ú=s þìne =d=úȝeþe | stílle hè for=d=émeð._ ib. 14123-4. A* + B*: _Wóden hèhde þa hǽhste làȝe | an ùre ǽldèrne dǽȝen._ ib. 13921-2.
