In 1711, Joseph Addison compared chronograms to "anagrams and acrostics". Alphabetical and other acrostics occur frequently in Neo-Hebraic poetry. Lange was fond of rare poetic forms&colon; acrostics, dactyls, pantoums, praeludiums, scherzos, canticles and triolets. In fact, all of the confirmed acrostics in the Hebrew Bible are alphabetic. Alphabetical acrostics are used as an external embellishment of a few poems. Similarly, biblical authors used acrostics based on the (ordered) Hebrew alphabet. Such acrostics are a well recognised phenomenon in the Tanakh. Milton used a number of acrostics in the poem. He tries to fight her spirit by searching for acrostics in Shakespeare. The first four are written as acrostics. He occasionally used the blues form and acrostics. Many of the songs contain acrostics identifying the author of that specific composition. Although some newer canons also contain acrostics, they are less frequent than they once were. Acrostics can be more complex than just by making words from initials. In chronicles, acrostics are common in German and English but rare in other languages.
