C. 1, 2, 10, 12, 20, 22, 25, 30, 32, 38; 2, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16; 3, 8, 11, 14, 18, 20, 22, 27; 4, 2, 6, 11; Carmen Saeculare. Also in Catullus 11 and 51.
So Sappho:—
φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος θέοισιν
ἔμμεν ὤνερ ὄστις ἐναντίος τοι
ἰζάνει καὶ πλασίον ἆδυ φωνεύ-
σας ὑπακούει (Fr. 2, Bergk).
Sappho apparently treated the third Sapphic and the Adonic as continuous; but Horace and Catullus allow syllaba anceps (and Horace in four cases, 1, 2, 47; 1, 12, 7, and 31; 1, 22, 15, hiatus) at the end of the third line. On the other hand, both Catullus and Horace sometimes join the third line to the fourth (by dividing a word, Hor. 1, 2, 19; 25, 11; 2, 16, 7; Cat. 11, 11; by elision Hor. 4, 2, 23; Car. Saec. 47; Cat. 11, 19), and in a few instances the second to the third (Hor, 2, 2, 18; 16, 34; 4, 2, 22; Cat. 11, 22, all by elision) by synapheia (see [2510]). In Horace, the last foot of the third line is nearly always an irrational spondee.
