16 — 2 244 The Metrical Division of and another. Without professing to exhaust the subject, we will illustrate it in one very important application, the metrical division of the third foot. For this, the general rule in Virgil may be stated thus : The third foot of the hexameter, unless con- tained in a Greek word or a proper name, should be divided either by a caesura or by a tmesis. This is true with exceptions not only rare but almost always explicable by special considerations. But without ...the last alternative the statement would be wrong. Take for example the Sixth Book of the Aeneid. It contains, if I have counted right, 36 verses which have no caesura (proper) in the third foot. In 11' of the 36 the third foot is contained in a proper name, as in foribus letum Androgeo: turn pendere poenas — talibus adfata Aenean, nee sacra morantur — praecipue pius Aeneas, turn iussa Sibyllae — Aeneas matri Eumenidum magnaeque sorori — and where this is the case, it seems to be indifferent whether the name is a compound or not : the indivisible name Aeneas is so placed in the verse with a frequency almost tiresome.
