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 DUM. The Christmas carol 'No Small Wonder' by Paul Edwards is a fair example of usage. | A bacchius (/bəˈkaɪəs/) is a metrical foot used in poetry.
