Besides, if the proceleusmatic and anapaest were
really admissible into the Latin heroic metre, and
intentionally introduced by the poets, we might
surely expect to find some examples less question-
able than those where the I or the Vis concerned;
and, until some such are produced from good and
unquestionable authority, I hope I may be al-
lowed to deny, or at least to doubt, the legitimate
admissibility of the proceleusmatic or anapaest
into Latin heroic verse.

Connubls, fyc. But, although Virgil has Con-
nubia, with the U long, in other places
where it suited his metre; the quantity of
Innuba, Pronuba, and Subnuba, which all
have the nu short, is sufficient proof that the
corresponding syllable may also be short in Con-
nubium -- i. e. that the syllable, in fact, is
common.
