spondaic การใช้

• For example, Homer allows spondaic fifth feet ( albeit not often ), whereas many later authors virtually never did.
• Also, because the Latin language generally has a higher percentage of long syllables than Greek, it is by nature more spondaic than Greek.
• The repeated use of the heavily spondaic line came to be frowned upon, as well as the use of a high proportion of spondees in both of the first two feet.
• However, these prayers, even in the form in which they are found in Cato, are predominantly spondaic, in keeping with the slow movement of the chant and with the solemn religious character of the rites.
• Each of the stanzas has a traditional rhyming scheme, they use two quatrains of rhymed iambic pentameter with several spondaic substitutions . which give the poem a reading pace, that of which is closest to casual talking speed, clarity and volume.
• The metre differs but slightly from the rhythm of prose, is easy to construct and to memorize, adapts itself very well to all kinds of subjects, offers sufficient metric variety in the odd feet ( which may be either iambic or spondaic ), while the form of the strophe lends itself well to musical settings ( as the English accentual counterpart of the metric and strophic form illustrates ).
