A bacchius (/bəˈkaɪəs/) is a metrical foot used in poetry.
In accentual-syllabic verse we could describe a bacchius as a foot that goes like this:
| da | DUM | DUMlos |
Example:
When day breaks
the fish bite
at small flies.
The Christmas carol 'No Small Wonder' by Paul Edwards is a fair example of usage.
