1 2 3 4 5 6 l. 436 . . . || le voit encor la nuit;
and conversely he writes jusques for jusque before au, to prevent the elision and keep the word dissyllabic, in
1 2 3 4 5 6 l. 136 Sion, jusques au ciel: || . . . .
Similarly in l. 426, for the simpler expression
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Tous révèrent à genoux,
he writes,
1 2 3 4 5 6 Tout révèr(e) à genoux, ||
reducing the seven syllables of the former to a correct hemistich.
CAESURA.
Between the two hemistiches of an hexameter there must be a pause, called la césure, or 'caesura.'
