In Modern English two-foot lines are also rare and are chiefly found in anisometrical stanzas. They do occur, however, here and there in isometrical poems, either written in couplets or in stanzas of lines rhyming alternately; as, for instance, in Drayton, An Amouret Anacreontic:

Most góod, most fáir,

Or thíngs as ráre

To cáll you’s lóst;

For áll the cóst

Wórds can bestów,

Só póorly shów

Upón your práise

That áll the wáys

Sénse hath, come shórt, &c.
