An Asclepiad is a line of poetry following a particular metrical pattern. The form is attributed to Asclepiades of Samos and is one of the Aeolic verse Aeolic metres . As with other Aeolic metrical lines, the asclepiad is built around a choriamb . The Asclepiad may be described as a glyconic that has been expanded with one Lesser Asclepiad or two Greater Asclepiad further choriambs. The pattern using for a long syllable, u for a short and x for an anceps or free syllable is x x u u u u u Lesser Asclepiad x x u u u u u u u Greater Asclepiad Martin Litchfield West West 1982 designates the Asclepiad as a choriambically expanded glyconic with the notation gl sup c sup lesser or gl sup 2c sup greater . Asclepiads were used in Latin by Horace in three of his odes 1.11, 1.18, 4.10, as well as by Catullus in Poem 30, and Seneca the Younger Seneca . Examples in English verse include parts of Sir Philip Sidney s Countess of Pembroke s Arcadia Arcadia Here wrong s name is unheard, slander a monster is Keep thy sprite from abuse, here no abuse doth haunt.
