More detail from Chambers 1908

[edit]

"A rhyming verse of twelve syllables, six iambic feet ... It is the ordinary verse of French tragedy. French Alexandrines are arranged in couplets, alternately acatalectic with masculine rhymes, and hypercatalectic with feminine rhymes." Equinox 19:37, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
