以下的分析又支持了一下我开头提出的论点：双行体句的音节少2个，多2个都可以接受？ 是否说明拜伦在写的时候不那么在意格律，选正确的词把事情叙述清楚是重点，押尾韵是叙述诗的一大特色。）
Though he heard the sound, and could almost tell （10 音节）
The sullen words of the sentinel, （9音节）
As his measured step on the stone below （10 音节）
Clank'd, as he paced it to and fro; （8 个 音节）
And he saw the lean dogs beneath the wall （10 ）
Hold o'er the dead their carnival, （9 ）
Gorging and growling o'er carcass and limb; （9 个音节？ 还是11个？Ing元音应该算一个音节吗？）
They were too busy to bark at him ! （9 ）
From a Tartar's skull they had stripp'd the flesh, （10）
As ye peel the fig when its fruit is fresh; （10）
And their white tusks crunch'd o'er the whiter skull, （11）
As it slipp'd through their jaws, when their edge grew dull, （11）
As they lazily mumbled the bones of the dead, （12音节）
When they scarce could rise from the spot where they fed; （11 音节）
So well had they broken a lingering fast （10 . ing不算？）
With those who had fallen for that night's repast. （ 10. Len不算？）
。。。。。。
And Alp knew, by the turbans that roll'd on the sand, （12）
The foremost of these were the best of his band: （11）
Crimson and green were the shawls of their wear, （10）
And each scalp had a single long tuft of hair, （11）
All the rest was shaven and bare. （8）
The scalps were in the wild dog's maw, （8）
The hair was tangled round his jaw: （8）
But close by the shore, on the edge of the gulf, （11）
There sat a vulture flapping a wolf, （9）

All the rest was shaven and bare.
这三句尾韵一样放一起？ 跟前后的双句押韵显得不一样。 不知道什么原因诗人这样铺排或是其他什么原因。或许决定这样也无伤大雅。 画鸡蛋谁也画不出同样的两个，除非是Copy And Paste？
为什么是抑扬格而不是扬抑格？谢谢！
