This example analyzes the prosody of Latin prose by counting occurrences of specific metrical patterns, called clausulae, in a string of syllable stress marks. The Clausulae class uses Python’s `str.count` method to tally matches for eighteen named rhythm patterns, such as “cretic + trochee” and “double spondee,” against a concatenated prosody input. It returns a dictionary mapping each pattern name to its frequency, providing a quantitative breakdown of rhythmic endings. The code is plain Python with no external visualization libraries, focusing solely on the text-analysis computation.
