spondaic

Their first group singing of a Sunday consisted of Negro spirituals in spondaic and trochaic verse, and phrased in many minors.

His versification is often hard and spondaic, the elisions too frequent, and the csura too much neglected.

There is in its slow spondaic movement an eternity of tears.

The result so far attained has been unsatisfactory, for the rhythms are all given as spondaic.

If a line ends with two spondees it is a spondaic hexameter.
