  • _Dactill_ is most usuall and fit for our vulgar meeter, & most agreeable to the eare, specially if ye ouerlade not your verse with too many of them but here and there enterlace a _Iambus_ or some other foote of two times to giue him grauitie and stay, as in this _quadrein Trimeter_ or of three measures.

    The Arte of English Poesie George Puttenham

  • Omitting therefore to speake of these larger feete, we say that of all your feete of three times the Dactill is most vsuall and fit for our vulgar meeter, & most agreeable to the eare, specially if ye ouerlade not your verse with too many of them but here and there enterlace a Iambus or some other foote of two times to giue him grauitie and stay, as in this quadrein Trimeteror of three measures.
