adonic line
An adonic line is a type of verse line used in Greek and Latin poetry characterized by a specific meter consisting of a dactyl (a long syllable followed by two short syllables) followed by a spondee or trochee (two long syllables or a long syllable followed by a short syllable). This creates a fixed rhythmic pattern often used in adonic verse, a four-line stanza in which the first and third lines are dactylic hexameter, the second is a shorter line of varying meter, and the fourth is an adonic line.
