(Cj" In this verse, some prosodians make Parietl a
proceleusmatic foot; and it is true that some
ancient grammarians considered it as such, and
scanned accordingly in this and other similar cases.
But it is worthy of remark, that there is not (/
believe) a single example of a supposed proce-
leusmatic or anapaest in any hexameter or pen-
tameter verse of any good Latin author, whicfi
may not he reduced to a dactyl or spondee by the
aid of the J or 11, as in the Une before us, or y
the V or W, as in Tenuia and Fluviorum, Georg. 1,
397 and 482. Nor is such conversion of the I and
the\J afanciful innovation, unsanctioned by ancient
authority, as may be fairly presumed in the case
of the U, and positively concluded in that of the I,
from the two subjoined hexameters of Lucretius,
and the accompanying Phalcecian of an anonymous
ancient poet; since, on the one hand, the word
'Tenuis cannot otherwise be made to furnish the
concluding spondee, and, on the other, Parieti
necessarily must be read Parjeti or Par-yetf, to
constitute a dactyl, the only foot admissible in its

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-

and, until some such are produced from good and

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-
