    Annotation:

    This article argues that Yeats's "Lake Isle of Innis free" is to be scanned as isochronic, with the first three lines of a stanza having seven beats and a caesura after the 4th beat, here called 'Sevens' as opposed to fourteeners. The form is not mentioned in any history of English verse, but a digital search of ca.2,500,000 lines of poetry reveals it to be representative of a neglected but significant strand of English poetry..
