III. Pentasyllables (2) 1. First hemistichs 2032b I (1) Needless to say that most of the metrical forms in question are here termed irregular not because they are considered so absolutely, but because, especially as hemistichs, they have no part in the metrical system of the narrative and didactic poetry of that period. As is well known, the lines of nine and more syllables appear, largely under foreign influence, as independent verses in the didactic and troubadour poetry of the time, while the pentasyllable and hexasyllable are found somewhat later as the regular hemistichs of the verso de arte mayor. (2) It is worthy of note that the pentasyllable does not occur with the same frequency in all parts of the Poema. There are a number of gaps in the appear 1113 1115 1118 1119 1122 1912 1933 1132 1135 1127 1128 1130 1131 1148 1287 1432 1608 1609 1612 1725 1735 1753 1905 1906 1907 1926 1927 1928 1959 1960 1962 1968 1971 1984 1986 1990 1992 1996 2005 2007 2008 2019 2028 2032 2033 2036 2039 2036 2039 2040 2043 2043 2057 2120 2128 2146 2159 2358 2359 2360 2361 2361b 2362 2363 2367 2377 2378 2390 2398 2423 2425 2434 2435 2439 2440 2160 2286 2043b 2047 2288 2319 ance of this metrical form, such as between 585-648, 648-727, 1053-1102, 1148-1287, 1287-1432, 1494-1602, 1646-1703, 1753-1806, 2057-2120, 21602286, 2634-2695, 2854-2921. Such variations in the complexion of our text tend to confirm the impression that at least one of the transcripts preceding the one copied by Per Abbat was the work of several scribes with different habits of mind. The combination 5 + 7 is not found between 2501-2807. 1137 1143 1146 1490 1494 1602 1617 1646 1703 1898 1899 1913 1916 1922 1923 1925 1943 1943 1949 1955 1956 1972 1978 |
