In the 17th century the iambic hexameter, also called alexandrine, was used as a substitution in the heroic couplet, and as one of the types of permissible lines in lyrical stanzas and the Pindaric odes of Cowley and Dryden. "When we read or hear hexameters by our Hungarian poets of note, we find the expressions so regular, the word order so uncontrived, and – detached from the form and the refined terms – the whole so naturally flowing, as if we were to hear careful colloquial speech." The author then goes on to illustrate his point by quoting Cserhalom by Mihály Vörösmarty. Dactylic hexameter Dactylic hexameter	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3639.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3639.txt
