Editing Hendecasyllable (section)

==Spanish==
The hendecasyllable ({{langx|es|endecasílabo}}) is less pervasive in [[Spanish poetry]] than in Italian or Portuguese, but it is commonly used with Italianate verse forms like sonnets and [[ottava rima]] (as found, for example, in [[Alonso de Ercilla]]'s epic ''[[La Araucana]]'').

Spanish dramatists often use hendecasyllables in tandem with shorter lines like heptasyllables, as can be seen in Rosaura's opening speech from [[Pedro Calderón de la Barca|Calderón]]'s ''[[La vida es sueño]]'':
{{Verse translation|lang=es|
Hipogrifo violento,
Que corriste parejas con el viento,
¿Dónde, rayo sin liama,
Pájaro sin matiz, pez sin escama,
Y bruto sin instinto
Natural, al confuso laberinto
Destas desnudas peñas
Te desbocas, arrastras y despeñas?<ref>{{cite book |last=Calderón de la Barca |first=Pedro |author-link=Pedro Calderón de la Barca |editor-last=Gröber |editor-first=Gustav |title=La vida es sueño |date=1905 |publisher=J.H.E.

Wild hippogriff swift speeding,
Thou that does run, the wingèd winds exceeding,
Bolt which no flash illumes,
Fish without scales, bird without shifting plumes,
And brute awhile bereft
Of natural instinct, why to this wild cleft,
The labyrinth of naked rocks, dost sweep
Unreined, uncurbed, to plunge thee down the steep?<ref>{{cite book |author-last=Calderón de la Barca |author-first=Pedro |author-link=Pedro Calderón de la Barca |translator-last=Mac-Carthy |translator-first=Denis Florence |translator-link=Denis Florence MacCarthy |title=Dramas |date=1873 |page=7 |publisher=Henry S.
