The Elegy is a type of poetry that shows lament, praise and consolationin in a formal and sustained way over the death of a particular person. Its mood is meditative, plaintive or sorrowful. It has Hexameter verses.
Hexameter is a line of verse consisting of six metrical feet. The term, however, is usually used for dactylic hexameter consisting of dactyls (stressed/unstressed/unstressed) and spondees (stressed/stressed) the meter which the Greek and Latin epics were written.
