      exactly answering to a previous strophe or movement from
      right to left. Hence: The lines of this part of the choral
      song.
      [1913 Webster]

            It was customary, on some occasions, to dance round
            the altars whilst they sang the sacred hymns, which
            consisted of three stanzas or parts; the first of
            which, called strophe, was sung in turning from east
            to west; the other, named antistrophe, in returning
            from west to east; then they stood before the altar,
            and sang the epode, which was the last part of the
            song.                                 --Abp. Potter.
