Editing Hendecasyllable (section)

===Sapphic hendecasyllable===
[[File:British Library papyrus 739.jpg|thumb|A [[papyrus]] manuscript preserving [[Sappho]]'s "Fragment 5", a poem using one of the [[Aeolic verse|Aeolic]] hendecasyllabics in its [[Sapphic stanza]]s]]
({{langx|la|hendecasyllabus sapphicus}}):
 – u – '''× – u u –''' u – –<ref name="HOR29ff" />
Again, the Aeolic base is truncated. This meter typically appears as the first three lines of a [[Sapphic stanza]], though it was also sometimes used in [[stichic]] verse, for example by [[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]] and [[Boethius]].<ref name="HOR29ff" /> [[Sappho]] wrote many of the stanzas subsequently named after her, for example (with formal equivalent, substituting English stress for Greek length):
{{Verse translation|lang=grc|attr1=Sappho: Fragment 31, lines 1-4|italicsoff=yes|
φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος θέοισιν
ἔμμεν' ὤνηρ, ὄττις ἐνάντιός τοι
ἰσδάνει καὶ πλάσιον ἆδυ φονεί-
σας ὐπακούει<ref>{{cite web |title=Phainetai Moi |url=https://www.stoa.org/unicode/texts/sappho31.html |website=www.stoa.org |date=n.d. |access-date=2 July 2021}}</ref>|
He, it seems to me, is completely godlike:
Ah, that man who's sitting across from you, there,
Leaning in and listening to your sweet voice,
Charmed by your laughter.}}
