Ternary Feet: we meet the anapaest and the dactyl, the molossus, the tribrach, the amphibrach and the amphimacer

Aunt Jane, Aunt Ruth, Molossus, and Scipio, all were in their accustomed places.

Molossus, Alan, Alaunt, Tie-dog, Bandog (or Band-dog), were among the number.

Molossus, the toy terrier, was asleep in Aunt Jane's lap; Scipio reposed luxuriously at Aunt Ruth's feet.

After more rhetoric he takes Andromache and Molossus under his protection and cows Menelaus, who leaves for Sparta on urgent business.
