Excerpt from Recent Research in Plainsong: A Paper Read to the Members of the Plainsong and Mediæval Music Society

Of these the cursus planus and its derivative, the cursus tardus, were most commonly used. Observe that, though of course exceptions occur, the caesura is not immediately before the accented syllable-nearest to the end, but between the unaccented syllables which precede it, and this makes the phrase run smoothly. The last syllable is unaccented, and though making a feminine ending the last syllable is always long, which rule enables English, with its often long though not necessarily accented final syllables, to adapt itself to the genius of Plainsong.
