TH E M E TR E O F TH E P O E M.

Th e essence of th e system of versifiea tionwh ich th e post h asad opted is, briefly, th a t every line s h all h ave four accented syllables init ; th e una ccented syllables being left insom e m easure

, as it were, totake care of th em selves .

Th e word s wh ich Coleridge prefix ed to his poem of Ch ristabel”

are byno m eans inapplicable h ere . He says, I h ave only to ad d,

th at th e m etre of th e Ch ristabel’

is not, properly speaking, irregular,th ough it m ay seem to be so from its being founded ona new principle : nam ely, th at of counting in each line th e accents, not th esyllables . Th ough th e latter m ay vary from sevento twelve, yet ineach line th e accents will be found to be only four.

”

Th e norm al form of th e line of th e present poem is th at sim ple oneof eigh t syllables, consisting of four (so - called ) iam bics, wh ich isso comm onin English poetry. But it sh ould be rem em bered th at

th is line is a t all tim es convertible with one of seven syllables,

generally d escribed as consisting of th ree troch ees and a long syllable .

Th is is easily ex em plified by taking th e first two lines of th e Conelusionto th e Second Part of Coleridge

’s Ch ristabel.”

A lit | tle ch ild la lim | ber elf ll

Singing | dancing | to it | self ||Th is is ad opting th e comm onform of scansiongiveninEnglish prosod ies ; but wh ich is far from being a very correct m eth od ; since tom ake trocha ic and iam bic m etres convertible is to introduce all sorts of

confusion.

Th e fa ct is, th at th e seven- sylla ble line, th ough trocha ic to th e ea r, is

really aniam bic line, ofwh ich th efirst syllable is deficient, i.s ., supplied

by a p ause and th e truer scansionis,A lit tle ch ild a lim | ber elf llSing ing d anc ing to itselfH

or, at any rate, to ad opt th is latter m eth od (of beginning to m ark off th e

feet from th e end , instead of from th e beginning of th e line) will befound to be far m ore convenient inpractice ; since th e accented sylla

bles, instead of drifting about , will thus always be placed a t th e end of

a foot . We sh ould thus, for instance, introduce th e sam e m arking off

of syllables inth e line,And l

Th e introduction of th ese seven- syllable lines, far from being a

d efect, is a natural and agreeable variation, ad opted by all our best

poets .

Th e nex t ch ief variationto be noted is th a t two very rapid syllables

are often(as inoth er English m etres) substituted for anunaccented

one, as in 88

Th

incorporated with th e syllable preced ing it, so th a t th e wh ole word ,a dissyllable inappearance, becom es m onosyllabic inpro

As to th e final - e, it m ay be observed th a t it is pronounced , ornot ,a t pleasure ; but

'

it is m ost frequently pronounced just wh enit is m ost

essential, viz ., wh enit m arks a gram m a tical infiex ion, or anad verbial

form , as, e.g. z

Inth e second place, it is very liable to be slurred over before a vowelfollowing, as inl. 1 48

and , thirdly, it is frequently added to words with out cause, and is

th erefore mute, as inl. 60
