GUEST,Phil d'Conch Maritime work song in general (725* d) RE: Maritime work song in general 22 May 23


“PROCELEUSMÁTICO, PROCELEUSMATICUS, PROCÉLEUSMATIQUE, Bersglied, Poes., da... (pro), avanti, e da... (celeuò), comandare, esortare. Verso, il cui primo piede consta di quattro sillabe brevi, e che è l'opposto del Dispondeo: tali sono i citati da Giovanni Argoli (in Not. ad lib. I. cap. 2. Panvin. de lud. Circens.):
= Pecora rapida caper agitat =.
= Humi caput inanime tepet, avida neque manu =.
= Memor eris, Asine, moreris , Asine, vapulans =.
Fu così esso denominato, quasi primus jussus, perchè ne' sacrificj di Minerva sembra pronunciarsi il primo piede di questo verso, o perchè per la sua celerità è, ne' casi urgenti della Milizia o della Nautica, acconcio ad esortare ed incoraggiare i Soldati od i Marinari.”
[Dizionario Tecnico Etimologico Filologico, Tom.II, Marchi, 1829]

Note: See vol.I, above and Bardin on celeustique (to follow.)
