Gbotjp B and 

 Group C. 



The same remarks apply in Ballad that applied in Romance metre — that is, 



the two groups are the same as Group A except that they have feminine and 



double-feminine endings respectively. 



Division II. 



This again, as in Romance, differs from Division I only in that the verses 

 all begin abruptly, or with a stressed syllable.

Again the remark concerning these groups in Romance and Ballad metres 

 apply.
