page 138 note 1 Ennius has however this rhythm : exórilur sól, praetérea fáx, restituis rém, Servílius sic.

page 138 note 1 It is, of course, not possible to be sure that Virgil felt this as grotesque; but Horace has the same rhythm and the same sound in his certain grotesque, ridículus mús.

page 138 note 2 Ennius has other examples of this final rhythm : áquae vís, méum cór, férat férs, hírat, híempsét, ιócis dánt, réfert rém, hómo réx.

page 139 note 1 Méns est in 400 is not in point, since est is enclitic, and the same is true of phrases like supra est (súprast).

page 139 note 2 Ennius : summa nituntur ópum vi, see XI. 552.
