ne iambus quidem, qui est e brevi
et longa, aut par choreo qui habet tris brevis trochaeus,1 sed
spatio par, non syllabis, aut etiam dactylus, qui est e long
et duabus brevibus, si est proximus a postremo, parum
volubiliter pervenit ad extremum, si est extremus choreus
aut spondeus; numquam enim interest uter sit eorum in
pede extremo. Sed idem hi tres pedes male concludunt2,
si quis eorum in extremo locatus est, nisi cum pro cretico
postremus est dactylus; nihil enim interest dactylus sit
extremus an creticus, quia postrema syllaba brevis an longa
sit ne in versu quidem refert.
