[*] 622. The following verses, combining different rhythmical series, are found in Latin lyrical poetry:—

Greater Archilochian (Dactylic Tetrameter; Trochaic Tripody):— sólvĭtŭr | ā´crĭs hĭ|éms grā|tā´ vĭcĕ || vē´rĭs | étFă|vō´nī.—Hor. Od. 1.4.

[*] Note.--It is possible that the dactyls were cyclic; but the change of measure seems more probable.

Verse consisting of Dactylic Trimeter catalectic (Dactylic Penthemim); Iambic Dimeter:— scríbĕrĕ | vérsĭcŭ|lō´s || ămō´rĕ pér|culsúm grăvī´.—Hor. Epod. 11.2.

Ginn and Company, 1903.
