Another of five- and four-foot verses (a5 b4 a5 b4) occurs in Cowley, The long Life (Poets, v. 264):
Love from Time’s wings hath stol’n the feathers sure,
He has, and put them to his own,
For hours, of late, as long as days endure,
And very minutes hours are grown.
Other less common analogous forms are given in Metrik, ii, § 298, the formulas being a5 b3 a5 b3, a3 b5 a3 b5, a5 b2 a5 b2, a2 b5 a2 b5.
There are also stanzas of anisometrical verses rhyming in couplets, but they occur very rarely. An example is Donne’s The Paradox (Poets, iv. 397), after the scheme a5 a3 b5 b3:
No lover saith I love, nor any other
Can judge a perfect lover:
He thinks that else none can or will agree
