Heroic verse consists of the rhymed iamb ic line or heroic couplet . The term is used in English language English exclusively. In ancient literature, heroic verse was synonymous with the dactylic hexameter . It was in this measure that those typically heroic poems, the Iliad and Odyssey and the Aeneid were written. In English, however, it was not enough to designate a single iambic line of five beats as heroic verse, because it was necessary to distinguish blank verse from the distich , which was formed by the heroic couplet. This had escaped the notice of John Dryden Dryden , when he wrote The English Verse, which we call Heroic, consists of no more than ten syllables. What Dryden should have said is consists of two rhymed lines, each of ten syllables. In French the alexandrine has always been regarded as the heroic measure of that language. The dactylic movement of the heroic line in ancient Greek, the famous AvBbr rtpg5os of Homer , is expressed in modern Europe by the iambic movement. The consequence is that much of the rush and energy of the antique verse, which at vigorous moments was like the charge of a battalion, is lost. It is owing to this, in part, that the heroic couplet is so often required to give, in translation, the full value of a single Homeric hexameter . It is important to insist that it is the couplet, not the single line, which constitutes heroic verse. It is interesting ... of English heroic verse appears to be the invention of Chaucer , who used it in his The Legend of Good ... of the heroic couplet.

Leonine verse is a type of versification based on internal rhyme , and commonly used in Latin verse of the European Middle Ages. The invention of such conscious rhymes, foreign to Classical Latin poetry, is traditionally attributed to a probably apocryphal monk Leonius , who is supposed to be the author of a history of the Old Testament Historia Sacra preserved in the Biblioth que nationale de France Biblioth que Nationale of Paris . This history is composed in Latin verses, all of which rhyme in the center. Fact date September 2007 It is possible that this Leonius is the same person as Leoninus , a Benedictine musician of the twelfth century, in which case he would not have been the original inventor of the form. Another very famous poem in Leonine rhyme is the De Contemptu Mundi of Bernard of Cluny , whose first book begins Hora novissima, tempora pessima sunt &mdash vigilemus. br Ecce minaciter imminet arbiter ille supremus. br Imminet imminet ut mala terminet, qua coronet, br Recta remuneret, anxia liberet, thera donet. These are the last days, the worst of times let us keep watch. Behold the menacing arrival of the supreme Judge. He is coming, he is coming to end evil, crown the just, reward the right, set the worried free, and give the skies. As this example of tripartiti dactylici caudati dactylic hexameter rhyming couplet s divided into three shows, the internal rhymes of leonine verse may be based on tripartition of the line as opposed to a caesura in the center of the verse and do not necessarily involve the end of the line at all.
