Sapphick (not comparable)

  1. Obsolete form of Sapphic.
    • 1728, John Hughes in The Preſent State of the Republick of Letters, Volume I., page #422:
      The Sapphick meaſure is indeed very muſical, and what Horace ſeems beſt to hace practiſed ; but methinks it is too ſoft, and fit only to be employed on love and pleaſant eaſy ſubjects : it ſeems too much confined, like the uſual meaſure of our ſongs, and the lofty ſenſe of ſome of his Odes is above it.
