An acatalectic dimeter is not seldom compounded with a catalectic iambic tripody: e.g.

Rerī́n tēr | in ánnō # t(ū) hās tṓn|sitā́|rī́? (Pl. B. 1127).

[2705.] (2.) Bacchiac hexameters occur in a few instances, as:—

Satī́n par|va rḗs est | volúptā|t(um) in vī́t(ā) at|qu(e) in aétā|t(e) agúndā (Pl. Am. 633).

[2706.] (3.) Hypermetrical combination of bacchii into a system appears to occur in Varro, Sat. Men. fr. 405 Buech.

[CHORIAMBIC RHYTHMS.]

[2707.] In these, the fundamental foot is the choriambus (–́ ⏑ ⏑ –̇). True choriambic verse is very rare in Latin poetry, though apparent choriambi of the form –́ ⏖ | – or –́ ⏖ | ⏗́ are common in logaoedic verse ([2652]).

Apparently, however, in Terence, Ad. 611-13,

Út neque quid | mḗ faciam | néc quid agam # certúm | sit.

mémbra metū | dḗbilia | súnt, animus # timṓ|re
