Hìnche los | àires ce|lèste armo|nía;
dactylic with two syllables lacking:
Sè oye á lo | lèjos tre|mèndo fra|gòr.
In an iambic or an anapæstic verse, there may be one or two unaccented syllables in excess; in a verse of trochees or amphibrachs, one:
¿A dón|de vàs | perdì|da?
Suspì|ra el blàn|do cé|firo.
Sacudièn|do las sèl|vas el á|brego.
Tiènde el | mànto | nòche | lóbre|ga.
El nìdo | desièrto | de míse|ra tórto|la.
But all verses are not subjected rigorously to rhythmical division according to the types explained. In trochaic and iambic verses not exceeding eight syllables in length xxxiii and not intended for singing, no accent is obligatory except that of the last division (or foot). The rhythmical nature of the composition then depends upon the regular recurrence of this final accent.
