APPENDIX =A. The Metre of Roister Doister.=--Udall's verse is a long line of 9, 10, 11, 12 (and rarely more) syllables; a verse which represents the Middle English Long Line (or the Middle English _Septenarius_, as it has been called for lack of a better name), as we find it, for instance, in _Robert of Gloucester_, some Legends, and _Robert of Brunne_. This Middle English long line, of either six or seven stresses or accents, is found in Skelton's _Magnyfycence_, and other early Plays. In Roister Doister, on the whole, the lines of six accents seem to prevail, lines corresponding to the Middle English Alexandrine, or in Udall's case perhaps rather to the classical _senarius_, to the _trimeter_ of the Roman comedy as understood by Udall. But a great number of _septenarii_ occur at the side of these _senarii_, distributed all over the play, and in the speeches of different persons. In many cases it seems even doubtful whether a verse should be regarded as a _senarius_ or a _septenarius_. _Specimens of the Senarius_:-- Truepen| ie get | thee in||thou shalt|among |them knowe I will | speake out| aloude ||I care |not who|heare it.
