In some places the Ellesmere MS. marks two pauses in a line, but we need only consider one of them as constituting the true caesura. Thus, in A 923, there is a mark after been and another after duchesse; the latter may be considered as subsidiary.
The occurrence of initial portions of a line containing one accent or four is comparatively rare; but the inclusion of three accents is very common.
