Sentences with IAMBUS (5)
Pros.) A choriambic verse, first used by the Greek poet Asclepias, consisting of four feet, viz., a spondee, two choriambi, and an iambus.
First he had, in sport, named some of them after the metrical feet of Latin verse, which had been but ill friends of his in his school days, and in his kennel there was a Troch, Iamb, Spond and Dact, whose full names were Trochee, Iambus, Spondee and Dactyl.
This may be believed when we find that she makes the _i_ of iambus long! However, the poem is corrupt, and the readings in many parts uncertain.
From this time we find a union between the elegiac and iambic poetry; the same poet, who employs the elegy to express his joyous and melancholy emotions, has recourse to the iambus when his cool sense prompts him to censure the follies of mankind.
The elegy and iambus contain the germ of the lyric style, though they do not themselves come under that head.
