couplet
:Im Hexameter steigt des Springquells silberne Säule,
:Im Pentameter drauf fällt sie melodisch herab.

translated into English by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as:
:In the hexameter rises the fountain's silvery column,
:In the pentameter aye falling in melody back.

and by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, as:
:Up goes the Hexameter with might as a fountain rising.
:Lightly the fountain falls, lightly
