Excerpt from Gems of Modern French Poetry for Reading and Recitation: Compiled and Edited With Introductory Remarks on the Principles of French Versification, Short Biographical Notices, and a Phraseological French-English Vocabulary in the Order of the Text All syllables in modern French poetry are in a sense equal, since the pronunciation of French words does not show any well-marked distinctions of stress or accentuation. It follows, therefore, that the measure of French verse is reckoned solely by the number of sounded syllables irrespective of emphasis or length. The so-called E mute, although not emphasized in reading poetry, forms one syllable with the consonants belonging to it, except before a vowel or an H mute, or at the end of the line. French lines consist of any number of syllables up to twelve. Those, however, of one, nine, and eleven are rarely used. The most important is the famous Alexandrine or twelve-syllable line: Et s´il n´en res-te qu´un, je se-rai ce-lui-la. (Victor Hugo.) Each line is divided into two equal parts called hemistichs, the last word of the first part always ending with a sounded syllable or with a mute e which is elided, the next word beginning with a vowel or silent h. This division or metrical pause is called the Cæsura (see page xiii). Epic, dramatic, satirical, and didactic poetry is almost invariably written in Alexandrines which are also employed in modern sonnets and other forms of lyric poetry. Ten-syllable lines, the oldest form of French verse, usually take the Cæsura after the fourth syllable: Je veux ce soir, vi - si - tant tes ri - vages Y pro - me-ner mes rè-ves les plus ehers. (No. 19. Marine, by E. Deschamps.) Nearly all the old epic or heroic French poetry, most of the didactic poems of the eighteenth century, and the old Chansons de geste are written in this measure.
