Monostrophic, mon-ō-strof′ik, adj. having but one strophe: not varied in measure.—n.

In other respects a poem of this kind should, perhaps, more correctly be called monostrophic.

The measure of Verse us'd in the Chorus is of all sorts, call'd by the Greeks Monostrophic, or rather Apolelymenon, without regard had to Strophe, Antistrophe or Epod, which were a kind of Stanza's fram'd only for the Music, then us'd with the Chorus that sung; not essential to the Poem, and therefore not material; or being divided into Stanza's or Pauses they may be call'd Allaeostropha.
