page 123 note 2 E.g., II. 55, 58, 88, 212, etc.; V. 153, 157, etc.; VI. 451, 481, 514, etc.; VII. 8, 20, 54, etc.; X. 698, 716, etc. Naturally, when, as in the lines criticised, the word with which the long syllable is blended is the monosyllable et or ac, the metrical effect of the whole line is not the same as when it is a long word, thus making a broken caesura. But it does not effect Norden's point.
