Metres of greater length are called, musical prose, of which there are many varieties.

Dr. Rosen, the learned editor of Colebrooke, confessed to me that he had printed the tables without understanding them.

The metres mentioned as having less than eleven syllables are often portions of longer kinds. They are seen only in native books on prosody, and are of no advantage to the student.

The letters M, B, J, R, G, L, etc., denote the feet according to the ancient method.

XI. Verses having eleven syllables in each line.
