Verses with trisyllabic second thesis are extremely rare and doubtful.[76] It should be noticed that, in this second type too, the thesis seldom consists of a second part of a compound, as _hine fýrwìt br[æ´]c_ Beow. 232, the exceptions are proper names, as _n[=u] ic B[=é]owùlf þéc_ Beow. 947, _ne wearð Hérem[=ò]d sw[=á]_ Beow. 1710.
Type B, according to Sievers, occurs 1014 times in Beowulf, of which 293 are in the first hemistich and 721 in the second.
§ =27. The Type C= has three sub-types: (i) C 1, the normal type × -´ | -´ ×, without resolution, as _oft Scýld Sc[=é]fing_ Beow. 4, _geb[=ù]n h[æ´]fdon_ 117. Here too the first thesis may consist of two, three, four, or five syllables, _þæt h[=i]e [=æ´]ghwýlcne_ An. 26, _þone gód sénde_ Beow. 13, _ofer hrónr[=á]de_ Beow. 10, _[=æ]r h[=e] onwég hwúrfe_ Beow. 264, _mid þ[=æ]re w[æ´]lfýlle_ Beow. 125, _þe ic him t[=ó] s[=é]ce_ El. 319 _þ[=a]ra þe mid B[=é]owúlfe_ Beow. 1052, _oð þæt hine sémnínga_ An. 821, _þ[=a]ra þe h[=e] him míd h[æ´]fde_ Beow. 1625, _swylce h[=i]e ofer s[=æ´]e c[=ó]mon_, An. 247. (ii) C 2 is the normal type C with resolution of the first arsis, and is of such frequent occurrence that it may be looked on as a special type, _on hérefélda_ An. 10, _forscrífen h[æ´]fde_ Beow. 106, _in wórold w[=ó]cun_ Beow. 60; a less common form is that with resolution of the first and second arsis, _t[=o] brímes fároðe_ Beow. 28, _sw[=a] féla fýrena_ Beow. 164; sometimes with resolution of the second arsis only, _t[=o] s[=æ´]es fároðe_ An. 236 and 1660, _for fr[=é]an égesan_ An. 457, but not in Beowulf. The first thesis may have two, three, or four syllables, _þ[=a] wið góde wúnnon_ Beow. 113, _ofer lágustr[=æ´]te_; with two resolutions, _ic þæs wíne Déniga_ Beow. 350, _h[=u] s[=e] mága frémede_ An. 639, _þæt him his wínem[=á]gas_ Beow. 65, _ne h[=i]e h[=u]ru wínedríhten_ Beow. 863. (iii) C 3 is type C with short second arsis, × -´ | )´ ×, and is pretty common, _in g[=é]ardágum_ Beow. 1, _of f[=é]orwégum_ Beow. 37; the first thesis may have from two to five syllables, _þæt wæs g[=ó]d cýning_ Beow. 11, _þæt h[=i]e in b[=é]orséle_ Beow. 482, _s[=e] þe hine d[=é]að nímeð_ Beow. 441, _ne meaht þ[=u] þæs s[=í]ðf[æ´]tes_ An. 211, _þonne h[=e] on þæt sínc stárað_ Beow. 1486. Resolution seems to be avoided, though it occurs here and there, _of hlíðes nósan_ Beow. 1892, _on þ[=æ]m méðelstéde_ Beow. 1083. Thesis with secondary accent is not found. The number of hemistichs of type C in Beowulf is, according to Sievers, 564.
