Rove-over
Having an extrametrical syllable at the end of one line that forms a foot with the first syllable of the next line. The term is used to describe a type of verse in sprung rhythm, Gerard Manley Hopkins's method of counting only the stressed syllables of a line. Thus, the metre of a verse is determined by feet of varying length but always having the accent on the first syllable.
