Spanish verse may consist of any number of syllables from two up to
sixteen. All must have an accent on the next to the last syllable.
_Dissyllabic Verse_: A dissyllabic verse may be composed of a single
word (either _aguda_, _llana_, or _esdrújula_).
Ex. _¡Duerme!_ p. 173, XXVII, l. 13.
There can be no supernumerary accents.
_Trisyllabic Verse_: A verse of three syllables can have no
supernumerary accent, for the accent would be _obstruccionista_.
