Q
  1. this meter is iambic distych, a line of iambic trimeter followed by a line of iambic dimeter. An iambic metron consists of two iambs (u - u -)

thus a trimeter is u - u - / u - u - / u - u -

a dimeter is u - u - / u - u -

A
  1. The books always talk about how easy iambs are to scan because they’re so natural. But a short syllable can be replaced with a long or with two shorts, and a long can be replaced by a short or two shorts.

This can make it very confusing to scan. But substitutions are rare or impossible in 2nd or 4th iamb, so the iambic feel is retained, which means that we are regularly reminded of the iambic feel of the verse.

nec cum lavātur. Causa quae sit quaeritis?

Dactyliothēcam nōn habet!

Q
  1. this meter is iambic distych, a line of iambic trimeter followed by a line of iambic dimeter. An iambic metron consists of two iambs (u - u -), thus a trimeter is u - u - / u - u - / u - u - and a dimeter is u - u - / u - u -
