METRICAL INDEX

OF

TUNES AND HYMNS.

NOTE, ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF METERS.-Iambic meters, in English prosody, are those in
which the accent comes on every second syllable. But it is common, in the first two syllables of
any line, to find the order of the accents reversed.

Trochaic meters are those in which every second syllable is unaccented.

Under the title "Anapestic meters" are included those which are constructed of triplets of syl-
lables. In hymns of this class, at the beginning of a line, it is not uncommon to find, instead of
one unaccented syllable, two such syllables to be sung in the time of one.

Those irregular meters which are constructed of Iambic and Trochaic lines in the same stanza,
are classified here according to the form of the first line.
