The hexasyllable or hexasyllabic verse is a line of verse with six syllables.
The orphan hexasyllable is a metric specificity of certain French epic poems. This kind of verse in the Garin de Monglane's Song in a 14th-century manuscript turns out original in an epic production.
Hexasyllable is sometimes used in French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese poetry.
