| 释义 | > as lemmasecho verse 3. An artifice in verse, by which one line is made to consist of a repetition (such as might be given by a literal echo) of the concluding syllables of the preceding line, so as to supply an answer to the question contained in it, or otherwise to give a continuous sense. Hence, the name of the species of verse in which this was done. Also attributive, as in echo verse.The most perfect modern example of this once fashionable device is Hugo's Chasse du Burgrave, where every alternate line throughout a long poem is an ‘echo’ of the preceding line.
