Is the end of what's under the Pole;

A philosopher takes it with grátitude,

And believes it the best on the whole.—Byron.

[§ 536]. Metres where there is no rhyme are called blank metres.

Of man's first disobedience and the fruit

Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste

Brought death into the world and all our woe,

With loss of Eden, till one greater Man

Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,

Sing, Heavenly Muse!—Milton.
