释义 | oden. 1. (a) In early use (esp. with reference to ancient literature): a poem intended to be sung or one written in a form originally used for sung performance (e.g. the Odes of Pindar, of Horace, etc.). Cf. Choral Odes n. at choral adj.1 Compounds. (b) Later: a lyric poem, typically one in the form of an address to a particular subject, written in varied or irregular metre. Also in extended use.Traditionally, an ode (in sense 1(b)) rarely exceeded 150 lines and could be much shorter. The metre in longer odes is usually irregular (e.g. Dryden Alexander's Feast, Wordsworth Intimations of Immortality), or consists of stanzas regularly varied (e.g. Gray's Pindaric Odes), but some shorter odes consist of uniform stanzas (e.g. Gray's shorter odes). The popularity of the ode as a poetical form tended to diminish during the 20th cent.The term is sometimes applied to certain short Old English poems, such as The Battle of Brunanburh.
