Professor
Saintsbury
justly
remarks: "
It
is
enough
to
say
that,
even
in
rime
royal,
his
lines
wander
from
seven
to
fourteen
syllables,
without
the
possibility
of
allowing
monosyllabic

trisyllabic
feet
in
any
fashion
that
shall
restore
the
rhythm;
and
that
his
couplets,
as
in

of
Thebes
itself,
seem
often
to
be
unaware
whether
they
are
themselves
octosyllabic
or
decasyllabic
four-
footed,
or
five-
footed."
