The metre has been imitated in English, notably by Alfred Tennyson, Swinburne, and Robert Frost, cf. The third form of hendecasyllabic verse is the “ Sapphic” (Latin: hendecasyllabus sapphicus so named for its use in the Sapphic stanza), with the pattern: – ⏓ – ⏓ – ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ – –įorty-three of Catullus's poems are hendecasyllabic for an example, see Catullus 1. The pattern of the “ Phalaecian” (Latin: hendecasyllabus phalaecius) is as follows (using “–” for a long syllable, “⏑” for a short and “⏓” for an “ anceps” or variable syllable): ⏓ ⏓ – ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ – ⏑ – ⏓Īnother form of hendecasyllabic verse is the “ Alcaic” (Latin: hendecasyllabus alcaicus used in the Alcaic stanza), which has the pattern: ⏓ – ⏑ – ⏓ – ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ – The heart of the line is the choriamb (– ⏑ ⏑ –).
Each line has eleven syllables hence the name, which comes from the Greek word for eleven. The classical hendecasyllable is a quantitative meter used in Ancient Greece in Aeolic verse and in scolia, and later by the Roman poets Catullus and Martial. The term is often used when a line of iambic pentameter contains 11 syllables. The term "hendecasyllabic" is used to refer to two different poetic meters, the older of which is quantitative and used chiefly in classical ( Ancient Greek and Latin) poetry and the newer of which is accentual and used in medieval and modern poetry. In poetry, a hendecasyllable is a line of eleven syllables.
