DACTYLO-TROCHAIC RHYTHMS.

2675. DACTYLO-TROCHAIC verse, like logaoedic, is composed of dactyls and

trochees; but whereas in logaoedic verse the dactyls and trochees occur

within the same metrical series, in dactylo-trochaic they always form

separate series. Hence dactylo-trochaic verses are always composite,

consisting of two or more series in combination.

2676. It is uncertain whether the dactyls in dactylo-trochaic verse were

cyclic (2523) or whether there was a change of time in the middle of the

verse.
