Yo también soy cautìvo;
También yò, si tuvièra
Tu piquìto agradàble,
Te diría mis pènas.
The iambic hendecasyllable or heroic verse.—This ordinarily has eleven syllables, but it may end in an accented syllable and have only ten (verso agudo), or it may have two unaccented syllables at the end, and in such a case will have twelve syllables (verso esdrújulo). The latter two forms are always introduced into a composition according to some design. The typical form with five accents is rare:
Cayó, y el sòn tremèndo al bòsque atruèna.
All these accents are not necessary, but one of two main schemes of accentuation must be followed; viz., the accents must come on the sixth and tenth syllables, or else on the fourth, eighth and tenth; Rioja:
Campos de soledàd, | mustio collàdo.
Mora:
Sube cual àura | de oloròso inciènso.
