Paraguas o Quitasol...

There is certainly no fixed inner rhythmic accent in these
lines. The fact seems to be that the 9-syllable line is
too long to be uttered comfortably in one phrase, or
breath-group, and it is too short to be regularly divided
into parts by cesura.

B. VERSE WITH TERNARY MOVEMENT

Verse with regular ternary movement may occur in lines of
any length, but it is commonly found only in lines of ten,
eleven or twelve syllables. Many ternary lines of five and
six syllables are found, but they are almost invariably
mingled with binary lines. This _rondel antiguo_ (Nebrija,
quoted by Men. Pel., _Ant._ V. 66) is ternary throughout,
it would seem:

Despide plazer
y pone tristura;
crece en querer
vuestra hermosura.

For mixed movements, see the _serranilla_ on p. 45, l. 9
f.

In lines with _regular_ ternary movement, properly
speaking, every primary stress receives a rhythmic accent,
and these accents are always separated by two page lxxi
atonic syllables, as in:

Yo no se como bailan aqui,
Que en mi tierra no bailan ansi...

Rarely one finds 6-syllable and 9-syllable lines with
regular ternary movement, and these are probably never of
popular origin. Thus:

Serena la luna
Alumbra en el cielo,
Domina en el suelo
Profunda quietud...

(Espronceda, _El reo de muerte_, II)

Y luego el estrepito crece
Confuso y mezclado en un son,
Que ronco en las bovedas hondas
Tronando furioso zumbo...

(Espronceda, _Estudiante de Salamanca_)

Formerly the Spanish 10-syllable line occurred usually in
combination with other lines, as in:

En la calle de Atocha, iliton!
Que vive mi dama;
Yo me llamo Bartolo, iliton!
Litoque, vitoque, y[36] ella Catanla.
--En la calle del Sordo, iliton!
Que vive mi mozo,
Pues a cuanto le pido, iliton!
Litoque, vitoque, que siempre esta sordo.

[Footnote 36: There is hiatus here.]

(Quinones de Benavente, _Entremeses, bailes, loas y
sainetes_, quoted by Mila y Fontanals, _Obras completas_,
Vol. V, p. 324 f.)

Calderon used it in the _Vina del Senor_:

A la vina, a la vina, zagales;
Zagales, venid, venid a la vina.
A la vina, a la vina, zagales,
Y vaya de jira, de bulla y de baile.
Zagales, venid, venid a la vina,
Y vaya de baile, de bulla y de jira.
