抑抑揚格

cavalier, intercede, disbelieve, reappear, disapprove, indistinct, on the hill.

拜倫的以下四行詩是抑抑揚格：

The Assyr│ian came down │like the wolf │on the fold,

And his coh│orts were glea│ming in purp│le and gold;

And the sheen│ of their spears │was like stars │on the sea,

When the blue │waves rolls night│ly on deep │Galilee.

——Destruction of Sennacherib

這是拜倫寫的描述古代亞述人圍攻耶路撒冷，被瘟疫所襲的詩的一節。第四行第二音步中的waves 一詞可輕可重。詩題中的Sennacherib 是亞述國王。fold 指羊群， purple and gold 描寫亞述軍隊的服飾，Galilee，巴勒斯坦北部的加利利湖。cohorts軍團， sheen，光芒。
