§ 188. One-foot trochaic lines seem only to occur among longer verses in regular stanzas, as e.g. in a stanza of Addison’s opera Rosamund (I. ii. 38):

Túrning,

Búrning,

Chánging,

Ránging.

We even find sometimes a line consisting of a single (of course accented) syllable in Swinburne, as e.g. in his poem in trochaic verse, A Dead Friend (A Century of Roundels, pp. 12–19):

Góne, O géntle héart and trúe,

Friénd of hópes forgóne,

Hópes and hópeful dáys with yóu,

Góne?
