PREFACE
THE TH IRD EDIT ION.
Tn distinctive features of this Elementary LatinGrammar, ascompared w ith that ofLilly, may be stated as follows.
I. Accideiweq— l . Quantity is briefly noticed inthe first chapter,and the quantities of Latinwords are marked throughout ; thusthe learner is impressed with the importance of pronunciation, andprepared for the study ofProsody. 2 . The Adjective is set down
as a distinct part of speech , instead of theParticiple. 3. The use
of the Pronoun hie, hwc, hoc, in the declension of Nouns is dis
pensed w ith as unnecessary, all that it is intended to teach beingsupplied by judicious Praxis. (See the Chi ld
’
s Latin4. The term Conjunctive Mood is adopted from the best modernwriters, its special uses (Potential, Subjunctive, being re
served for explanation in the Syntax . 5 . The Participle, or
Gerundive, in dus has been deprived of the name of -Future, to
which it certainly has no claim . 6 . The Future Perfect in ro has
been removed from the Conjunctive to its proper place inthe Indicative Mood. 7 . The Tenses are translated by one signonly, the
other English signs being afterwards specially noticed. Inlikemanner, the varying forms, ere for erunt, re for ris,f ui for sum, &c .
,
are om itted inthe paradigms, and speciallynoticed ina subsequentplace. It is hoped thatthe paradigms have beenmade easier to the
learner by these changes, and also by the synoptical form inwhich
they are printed. 8 The old memorial hexameters for genders of
Nouns, fiexionofVerbs, &c., are replaced. by rhym ing Latin lines

inoctosyllabic rhythm ,which are learnt (as theAuthor has found)
w ith infinitely greater ease, remembered quite as w ell,and applied
w ith at least equal readiness. In adopting this alteration, the
Author has followed not only the dictates of his own judgment,but also the general practice ofContinental School Grammars.
II. Smaller Syntax and FirstRules of Constrm’
ng .—These rules
are intended to introduce the beginner to the practice of construingsimple sentences
,before he enters upon the further study of
Syntax.
III. Inthe larger Syntax, the Author has applied the improvedprinciples ofmodernphilology to the memorial system of instruc
tion. He has chosenLatinrules onaccount of their superior conciseness ; and, while he has made the individual rules short and
clear enough for memorial citation, he has also adhered as nearly as
hemight to philosophical accuracy intheir arrangement ; follow ing
the growth of the sentence from its simplest to its complex forms,
and carefully explaining the distinctionbetw een the simple and
compound sentence, as also betweenthe several kinds of compound
sentences. It is only by anaccurate understanding of these dis
tinctions that a learner canthoroughly master the doctrine of the
Subjunctive mood, so eminently important inLatin; and, how
easily and perfectly itcanbemastered by the method here adopted,
the Author knows from long experience. By the Second Part of
this Syntax 180— 200) the Author is w illing that the merits
of thi sGrammar should be tested : it being remembered that boysare not supposed to study those rules until they are practically
grounded inthe Syntaxis Minor. It has not beenthoughtneces
sary to append a translationof the higher Syntax.
IV. The elementary rules of Prosody are thrown into the form
ofmemorial Latinverses. This planis appropriate to the subject
itself, and suited to learners who have alreadymade some progress
inthe language. Although it has beenimpossible inthese verses
to avoid occasional deviations from approved rhythm, yet, it will

be found that the objectionable lines do not form so much as one
tenth part of the whole number ; while of verses decidedly inhar
monious there are only 5 or 6 outof 225 and eventhese may be
turned to advantage, as examples of what should be avoided in
rhythm .
The Author has never departed f rom the usual Grammatical
Nomenclature, except for powerful reasons . In addition to the
instances before mentioned, he w ishes to draw the attention 01
scholars to the great advantage of the term Copulative Verbs, as
applied by him to the class ofVerbs (sum , fio, videor, vocor,
which coup le a Subj ect and aNom inalPredicate . He isnot aware
that any collective term has heretofore beeninvented for them
and the Syntax rules affecting them have beenconsequently vague
and loose. Inorder to appropriate here the word Copulative, theAuthor has given to et, que, &c., the name of Socz

tions,and to act, eel, &c., that ofDissociative terms also better in
themselves thanCopulajive and Difiunctz’

as, sto, I stand .
Obs. Neuter Verbs Active have no Passive Voice, exceptas Impersonals inth e Th ird Persons Singular.
DEPONENTIA ,Deponent Verbs, though conjugated m
the Passive Voice ch iefly, lay aside (dep onunt) thePassive, and take an A ctive signification: some
being Transitive ; as, h6rt6r, I exhort ; some Neuter ;as, m6ri 6r, I die.

imans, loving ,A ctlve Future Part., amatiirii s, aboutto love.
Past Part. , amatus loved,Passive c

Note. I’artic ip les are so called, because they take pa rt or
the pro perties of Verbs, as T ense and TransitivePow er, and p art of the prop erties of Adjectives ,as Case and G ender. Thus they are the A d
jectives of the Verb , as the Infinitive (w ith the
Gerunds and Sup ines ) form s its Substantive .

VERBS IN IO OF THE THIRD CONJUGATION.
56. Verbs inio of the Third Conjugation, in the Tensesderived from the Present-stem , throw away i beforeanother i but keep it before a , o, u, and e
, exceptbefore er or e final : as, rapi
-b,rap
-6, rapi -fint,rap
-61 6, rapi-ébam ,
rapi -am ,rap
-6mm,rap

compounds
Capi b, ciipi f) , facifi,Fli gib, f6dio,Rapifi, Spécio, quati l
'
i,Gri dibr, m6ri6r, poti6r, pati6r.
9 57 . VARIETIES or FORM.
a) The follow ing changes are made in the several Con
jugations, chiefly by the poets
I. Avis into as as, amasfi for am'
avisti ; amass6 for
amavi ss6.
Aver into ar as, amarfint for amavérfint ; amaramfor amavéram .
46 ACCIDENCE,
II. Evis into es as, impléssem for impl6vissem implesse
for implev'
i sse.
Ever into er as, implériint for imp16v6rfint ; impl6r6for imp16V6r6 .
IV. Iv into i ; as, afidiit for audiv‘
it ; aud‘
i 6runt for au
div6runt.
Iv is into its, or is ; as, afidiissé and afidissé for audi
v‘
Iss6.
N6vi , inthe Third Conjugation, changes w as into os ;’as, n6sti
for nc'
iv'
i sti : and over into or as, noram for n6v6ram . Pétlv'
i
from p6t6 , and desw 1 from d65‘
in6 , take the sam e changes as
Verbs of the Fourth Conjugation.
The Third Person Plural of the Preterperfect A ctive
oftenends inere’
instead of Erant; as,
Amavérfint or amavéré .
M6ni’
16runt or m6ni’
16r6.
Réxérfint or r6x6r6.
A fidivérfint or audiv6r6.
Note. We must not change dvé’
ré into art, or é'
vére’ into éréthus, amavére must not becom e amaré, nor implé véré
impléré, because these are the form s of the Infinitive.
In the Second Persons Singular of several Passive
Tenses, re is oftenput for ris as,
I. Amabari s or amabaré amabéri s or amabéré.
Améri s or ameré amar6ris or amaréré.
II. Manébaris or moné'
oaré mon6b6ris or m6n6b6r6.
Monéari s or mdnéare m 6n6r6ris or mon6r6r6.
III . R6g6ba'
ris or regébaré ; r6g6ris or r6g6r6.
Regaris or regaré r.6g6r6ris ,
or r6g6r6r6.
Audiébaris or afidiébaré audi6r‘
i s or ani6r6.Audiaris or aniaré ; afidir6ris or afidir6r6.
Note. It is not usual to w rite re for ris in the Second PersonPresent Passive, on account of the
'
confusionW i th Infin.
Act. and Imperat. Pass. But in Deponent Verbs th
change is less objectionable ; as, h6rt6r6 for hartar‘
i s.
(d) In the Passive Tenses formed w ith the Aux iliary Verbsum ,
fii i may be used for sum ; fii6ram for 6mm ;
fu6ro for 6r6 ; ffi érim for sim ; and ffiissem for 68
sem w ith a stronger past force as,

formed in undus as w ell as endus, especially that of
Verbs inia as fac‘

PAR S I.
DE SIMPLICI SENTENTIA.
PREFATOR Y EXCUR SION.
SYNTA X teaches the correct arrangem ent of w ords in sentences.
'
1 he
s im plest sentence is the Propositionor Enuntiationof a single though t
as . homo est mortalia, m an is m ortal. The simplest form of Sentence
has three members :
1 . Subjectum, the Subject ; that is, the person, thing , or notionconcerning w hich som eth ing is predicated, or declared.
2 . Prced icatum,the Predicate ; thatw h ich is predicated (p rced icatur ).
or declared, concerning the Subject.8 . Copula , or the L ink, w h ich show s the connection betw een the
Subject and its Predicate, and so constructs the sentence.
( 1) The Subject must be a Substantive, or that w h ich
possesses the force of a Substantive : as homo , m an;ego, I Gallus, a Gaul ; errare, to err ; tu, thou
(2 ) The Predicate, w hen distinct from the Copula, must
be a Substantive, A djective, Participle , or A djectivalPronoun; as, anima l, an anim al ; morta lis, m ortal ;victus , conquered ; noster, ours : or a Prep os itionw ithits case (equivalent to a noun) ; as s ine vitiis
, pro
consule.
(3) The Copula, whendistinct from the Predicate, is generallysome finite form of th e Verb of being , sum.
Examples of Simple Sentences inwh ich the three members are distinct

m ortal
8 8 SYNTAXIS, srvn
SUBJ ECT . PR EDICATE.
5 . Tu consuls.Thou art
But, ingeneral, the Predicate and Copula are blended together in onefini te Predicative Verb, w hich is thencalled the Predicate : as,
SUBJ ECT . PBl DICATE .
I learn(am learning ) .
breathe (are breathing ) .
Here, strictly speaking , the crude Forms of the Verbs (disc sp ira are
the Predicates, and the Endings -0, m t) , are the Copulas . And,w henthe Subject is understood from the Ending , a single Verb m ay he a
complete sentence. Thus, the famous defispatch of Caesar, Veni , vidi ,vici ( I cam e, I saw , I conquered) , contains three distinct sentences,each consisting of one w ord only.
Obs . 1. WhenanAdjective qualifies a Substantive w ithout be ing. joinedto it by a Copula, it is said (attribui , attributum esse) to be anA ttributive or Epithet. Thus, in the sentence, Vir bonuslaudatur (a good m anis praised) , bonus is anEp ithet ; but inVir estbonus (the m anis good) , bonus is the Predicate.
Obs . 2 . The Infinitive , Participles , Gerunds, and Sup ines , are called
Verbum Infinitum all the other form s of the Verb , any of
w h ich can m ake a complete sentence , are called Verbum
Finitum.
Obs . 3 . Objectum , the Object, is that person or thing upon wh ich an
action is directed : as, Parentes amant liberos , w here Iiberos is
the Object. Sometim es there are tw o Objects, a nearer and arem oter : as, Pater librumfi lio da t w here librum is the nearerObject, filio the remoter.
Obs . 4. Cop ulative Verbs are those which coup le a Subject and a Nom inal
Predicate. Of these Verbs sum is the ch ief but others also
have a Copulative use, as forem , fio, existo, e'
vado, maneo, audio,nascor, videor and Passive Verbs of making , naming , declar
ing , choos ing , thinking , finding , go. as efiicior, appellor, moor,
nuncup or, dicor, feror, declaror, crear, designof , eligor, inscribor,es istimor, p utor, credor, agnoscor, habeor, invenior, rep erior, go.

11. A Compound Sentence consists of tw o or more Simple Sentencesconnected together ; of w h ich one is the Principal, the others e ithe r
( A ) Co ordinate, o r ( B) Subordinate.
A . A Coordinate Sentence is one wh ich does not depend inconstructionuponthe Principal Sentence . Coordinate Sentences are introducedby such particles as et, que, nec aut, vel , sed, autem nam, enim ;
ig itur, itaque de inde, denique & c. : as , Gyges a nulla videbatur ; iI‘
se
a utem omnia videbat. CIC.
B. A Subordinate Sentence is one wh ich depends inconstructiononthePrincipal Sentence. Subo rdinate Sentences are of three kinds
(1 ) Substantival : ( 2 ) Adverb ia] : (3 ) Adjec tiva].A Substantival Sentence is one w h ich stands , like a Substantive, asSubject, Object, or inA pposition. Substantival Sentences belong toOratio Obliqua . and are of three kinds :
‘
(a ) Oblique Enuntiation:
(b) Oblique Petition: (c ) Oblique Interrogation.
( a ) The Oblique, o r Indirect Enuntiation, is form ed generally by theA ccusative w ith Infinitive Moed, som etimes byutw ith Subjunctive,or quad w ith Indicative or Subjunctive Mood. T hus, Amicitia , nis i
inter banos , esse nonp otest, is a DirectEnuntiation: w hilst Verumest, amicitiam, nisi inter bones , esse nonposse, is a Compound Sen
tence, conta ining th e Direct Enunciation, Verum est, and the
Ob lique Enunciation, am icitiam, nis i inter bones , esse nanposse
w h ich is Substantival, being he Subject of the Verb est, andhaving verum for its Predicate . So , invidia glorie comes e st, is a
Direct Enunciation; but Est hoc commune vitium, at invidia glories
comes sit, is a Compound Sentence, containing the ObhqueEnuntiatmn, a t invi d i a glorie comes sit, inApposition to hoe, the
Subject of est, of w h ich commune mtium is the Predicate. Again,Ca let ignis is a Direct Enuntlatlon Sentimus ca lere ignem a Com .
pound Sentence, having the Direct Enuntiation sentimus, andthe Oblique, calere ignem, w h ich is the Object of sentimus .
(b) The Oblique Petition is formed by the Subjunctive Mood, w ith
SENTENTIARUM CONSTRUCTIU. 121
or w ithout the Conjunctionat orne, or by the Infinitive ; follow ingVerbs of des ire. command, endeavour, 860 . Thus Mane insententid
is a Direct Petition, w hich may be expressed ina Compound Sen
tence by Oro ut manea s in sententié , Ora ma iled : in sententici, or
Ora te manere insententid.
( e) The Oblique Interrogationis formed by depend ent lnterrogatives,w hether Pronouns ? ” Particles , governing a Subjunctive Mood.
Thus Quis est? is a Direct Interrogation: but Nescio quis s it,
incertum est quis sit, are Compound Sentences, containing the
Oblique Interrogation, quis sit, w hich is the Object ofnescio, andthe Subject of est.
(2 ) An Adverbial Sentence is one w h ich qualifies the Principal Sentence like an Adverb, answ ering the questions, how. why, when, & c.
A dverbia] Sentences are form ed by Conjunctions, and are : (a ) Consecutive (so tha t) ; (b ) Final ( in order that) ; ( c) Causal (becauses ince) ; (d ) Tem poral (when, while, until, gm) ; ( e) Conditional
( if, unless ) ; (f ) (‘
oncessive (although, whereas ) ; (g) Comparative
(a s if, a s though, gm) .
( 3) AnAdjectiva] Sentence is one w hich qualifies the Principal Sentence like anAdjective or Ep ithet. It is formed by the Relative
Pronounqui , or by a R elati ve Particle.
The Relative Pronoun qui qua: quad (w ith its Particles ) has
great influence in Latin Construction. It is of all persons, andmay be used compendiously as a substitute for the unionof a Conjunctionw ith a Personal Pronoun. . Hence it fo rms CoordinateSentences w henused for et ego, et tu, et is , &c. ; for ego autem , tu
autem, is autem , Si c . for ego ig itur, tu ig itur, is ig itur, &c . for ego
enim, tnenim, is enim, &c . And it form s Subordinate Sentencesw henused for at ego, ut tu, at is
, &c . ; for quia ego, quia tu, quia is,&c. for si ego, si tu, s i is , &c. for ets i ego, etsi tu, etsi is ,
Note. It is to be observed that Subordinate Sentences may have others
subordinate to them , inrelationto w hich they are therefore principalclauses. From what has beensaid ofSubstantivalSentences, it appearsthat such principal clauses of Oratio Obliqua are, mostly, either inthe Infinitive or inthe Subjunctive Mood. Its subordinate clauses
generally take the Subjunctive as may be seen in the subjo inedexample
Oratio Rea m—Ara caricm rerum est, qua: s ciuntur oratoris autem omni s
actio op znwm bus , non scientid continetur nam - et
apud cos d icimus , qui nesciunt, et ea elicimus , qm
nescimus ips i . Cw .
O ratio Obliqua— (Antonius apud Ciceronem doest Artem eo r um rerurr
esse, qua: sciantur oratoris autem omnem a ctionem
opinions , nonscientia, contineri quia etapud ecs dicut,
qui nesciant, et ip se dicat, quod nesciat. q N'r.
Oratio R ecta may be virtually oblique, w hen it contains the statementof an Opinion or thought. Thus , the sentence. Themz stocles noctuambulabat, quad semnam capere non posset, implies that Them istoclesalleged inab ility to sleep as the reasonwhy he w alked by night

X. THE ROMAN CALENDAR .
(a ) The R om anCalendar agrees w ith the English , except inthe mannerof nam ing the days o f the m onth. E very R om an m onth had three
ch ief days ; Calendae (Calends), Nona: (Nones ) , ldus ( Ides ) The
Calends w ere a lways the l st day of the month . the Nones w ere onthe 5th : the Ides on the 13th ; excep t in March , May, J uly, andOctober, inwhich month the Nones w ere onthe 7 th , the Ides onthe15th .

These three days, the Calends, Nones, and Ides, w ere takenas points,from w h ich the other days w ere counted backw ards. That is, the

(c) From these observations it appears that w e may find the Romanname for any g ivenEnglish day by the fo llow ing rules :
( 1) If the g ivenday is betw eenthe Calends and Nones of the Rom anmonth
,subtract its English number from the Eng lish nuniber of
the day onw hich the Nones fall, increased by one : the rema inderw ill give that number before the Nones by w h ich the day is calledinLatin.
(2 ) Sim ilarly, if the g ivenday is betw eenthe Nones and Ides of theR omanmonth , subtract its English number trom the Enu lish numberofthe dayonw hich the Ides fall, increased by one : the remainder w ill
give thatnum ber before the Ides by w h ich the day 15 called InLatin.
T hus, to find the Romanname for the 4th o f J une , the Nones o f
J une falling onthe 5th, subtract 4 from 5 l , o r 6 ; the rem ainderis 2 ( prid ie) : therefore, the 4th of J une isp ridie Non. J un. Againto find the Romannam e for the loth ofMay, the Ides otMay fallingonthe 15th, subtract 10 from 15 + 1 , or 16 the rema inder being 6 .
the loth of May 15 called VI. Id . Ma i .
(8 ) But, if the g ivenday 15 betw een the Ides of the g ivenmonth andthe Calends of the next, thensubtract its Eng lish number from the
total number of days in the g ixen month , increased by two ; the
remainder w ill g ive that number before the Calends of the nextmonth by wh ich the day is called inLatin.
Thus, to find the Rom anname for the 18th of August : subtract
18 from 8 1 Q, or 33, the rema inder is 15, and August 18 th is calledXV. Cal. Sept. For April 2 15t, subtract 2 1 from or 39 ,
there rem ains 1 1 ; and April l t is called X I. Cal. Ma i. Fo rFebruary 25th , subtract 25 from or 30, there remains 5 ;and February 25 th is called V. Cal. I
’Wart.
(01) A s regards Construction, Ca lendis , Nonis , Idibus are used as Abla
tives of time ; and w hen tertia, qua rto, &c. , Calenda s , &c. , are used,the w ords die ante are understood. But Cicero does no t use these
latter ph rases : he w rites (for instance ) ante diem tertium Calendas
J anuarius , or, abbreviated, a . d . III. Cut. J an. to express Decembersoth,and so inevery case.
Here the Prepositionante has, by a corruptionofcustom , quitted its
proper place before Calendas , to stand before d iem w h ich it does not
go vern. So merely idiomatic is th is mode of express ion, that w e findit used independence onPrepositions ; as Consul Latinas inante d iem

XI. COMPOUND NUMERALS.
a. The General Rules for w riting Compound Numbers, Cardinal,Ordinal, and Distributive, are as follow s
( 1) InCompound Numbers less than20, either the smaller numberw ithout et precedes the larger, or the larger w ith et precedes the smaller
as, Nos Tgnda ritani inseptemdecim populis Sicilice numeramur.— CIC. Oc
tavo decimo (eta /is anno Cu. Pompeias, nono decimo Caesa r Octavianus civilia
bella sustinueruut. -TAC. Gallinis ova ter na dena subjicito a utumn—Pu n.R oscius f undos decem et tres reliquit.
— Crc. L icet dicere dec imus et septimus p ro septimus decimus.
— PR Isc.
(2 ) InCompound Numbers greater than20, either the sm aller number w ith at precedes the larger, or the larger w ithout et precedes thesm aller : as, Romulus sep tem et trig z
'
nta regnavit annos .— Cic . Macedo
‘
A lexander tertia et trices imo anno mortem obi it.—~ Cxc . Plinius scrip s it sub
Nerone na turce hz'
storia rum libros trig inta sep te m.— PLIN. Dentes triceni
bini viris a ttribuuntur. Fun.
(3 ) InCom pound Num bers above 100, the larger w ith or w ithout cc
generally precedes the sm aller : as, Leo ntinas Gorg ia s centum et sep tem
comp/evil} annos. CIC. Annum magnum esse voluerunt omnibus p lanetisineundem recurrentibus locum, quad fit p ost duodecim millia nougentoa quin
quag inta quatuor annas. CIC. Ser centes imum et quadrages imum annum

Olymp iade centes imd quarté-decimd Lys ippus fuit. FLIN. Aristidis
a rbitrio quadringena et sexagena talenta quotaunis Delum sunt collata .
NEP.
(4 ) The Thousands are expressed either by prefixing the numericaladverbs bis , ter, &c . , to m ille (a construction ch iefly found inpoetry) , or
by prefixing the cardinal numbers to m illio as , duo w illia, tria millio , &c.
Millia (better w rittenm ilia ), is genera lly fo llow ed by a Genitive, as
in example to § 17 l . (b) ; but, if smaller numbers intervene betw eenw illia and the Substantive , the latter w ill oftenstand inthe same case
‘
as
the Num eral as , Tria millia ct septingenti pedites {erant.— LIV.
(5 ) The Numbers abo ve are expressed by the Numeral Ad
verbs joined to centum millia or centena millia , as stated in the fo llow ingpassage : Non erat apud antiquos numerus ultra centum m illia itaque et
hod ie multip licantur ha s , at decies centena millia aut seep ius dicantur.
Pun.
b. Unus is oftenused inCompound Numbers for the Ordinal primus,as inthe first example to B.
c. The numbers compounded w ith 8 and 9 are commonly expressed bya subtractionof duo and unus from the nextmultiple of 10 : as
,duodevi
ginti (duodevicesimus ), 18 ; undeviginti (undevicesimus ), 19 ; duodetrig inta
(duodetricesimus ), £38 ; undetriginta (undetrices imus ) , 29 ; &C. & c. : duo~
decentum (duodecenteszmus) , 98 ; undeceutum (undecenteaimus), 99.

measure length , capacity, & c., as w ell as w eight : and “ inch, o r the
12th p art of a foot, as w ell as ounce,”the 12th part of a lh . , is derived
from uncia . Itw as also used to calculate interest. Thus (interest beingpaid monthly at the rate of so much per 100 Asses)
Uncia: usurce 11, per cent per m onth 1 per cent per annum .
Sextantes 2

B. AR SIS.
A s Arsis properly falls on a long syllable, in Iambic Metre it w ill fall
onthe second syllables of the feet, inDactylic and Trochaic onthe first.When a long syllable hav ing A rs is is reso lved into tw o short ones, the
A rs is falls on the first of these : hence , w hen a Tribrach is put for an
Iambus, the Arsis is on its second syllable ; w henfor a Trochee , onits
first. Caesura afterArsis is called strong after Thesis weak.
C. METRICAL TERMS.
Tw o feet (Dipodia ) m ake a metre inIambic, Trochaic, and Anapaestic
Verses, one foot inDactylic and otherMeasures.
A Verse of one Metre is called Monometer.tw o D imeter.three Trimeter.
four Tetrameter .
five Pentameter.
six Hexameter. 8m.
Two feet and a syllable inDactylic, Iambic, and Trochaic Verses arecalled Penthemimeris , a Penthem imer : as, Arboribusquc comm — Beaters
ille. Traditur dies. Three feet and a syllable are called Hep hthemimeris,
a Hephthem imer : as, Quid faciat lcetas segetes.— Locas sub ip sum fumes .
Traditur d ies die. So Trihemimeris, one foot and a syllable ; Ennehemi
meris , four feet and a syllable. Anacrusis is a syllable inThesis at the be
ginning of certain kinds of verse. A Base is a Trochee (or Spondeew ith A rsis onthe first syllable) at the beginning of certainverses.
APPENDIX . 201
D. DACTYLIC HEXAMETER.
a . The Dactylic Hexameter is also called Sena rius from having six
feet ( sem'
pedes ) and Heroica s , because the deeds of Heroes were celebrated
in th is m easure by the o ldest po ets , Hom er, Hesiod, &c., and afterwards
by the ir Latinim itators Ennius , Virg i l, &c.
b. ‘Vhena Spondee occurs inthe 5th place (wh ich is a rare licence, andseldom to be im itated) a Dactyl generally precedes it : as,
Cara denim soboles, magnum J ovis incremmitum —VIRG.Butnot always : as,
Cum pa tribus papuloque, Penatibus etmagnis Dis.
e. Such lines as these, being w ithoutCaesura, are bad and inadmissible :
Ha stis campus Iong is circum sp lendet et horret.
Lumina d ilabentem caelo ducitis annum.
Eflicientia cernite dissociabile marmor.
d . The follow ing rules are also to be borne inmind by the! young con.
poser! ofHeroic Hexameters :
( 1 ) A Spondaic w ord, followed by a st0 p, and belonging insense to the
preceding verse, seldom begIns anHexameter : as,
Sp iramenta linant, fucoque etfloribus orasExplent, collectumque haze ip sa ad munera gluten—VIM:
This may, however, be done for the sake of emphas is : as,
Extinctum Nymp hce crudeli funere Bap /minFIebant vos corgli testes etflumiua Nymphis.—VIRG.
(2 ) Dialysis after the 2d foot is very rare, and to be avoided : as,
Scilicet omnibus est labor impendendus , et omnes .—VIRG.
Unless the 2d foot ends w ith a monosyllable or a pyrrhich : as,
Experiar, tu deindejubeto certet Amyntas.—VIRG.Ecce dua s tibi , IBap/mi, duas altarz
‘
a Pha bo.—VIRG.The only common exception to th is rule is when inter or intra forms
the 2d foot, fo llow ed by a monosyllabic pronoun: as,
Talibas inter se dictis ad tecta subibant. —VIEG.
If anelided syllable follow s the 2d foot, it is commonly followed by a
mono syllabic particle : as,
Tum durare solum Het discludere Nereamuta—Vine .
Butnot always, as,
Quinetiam putrid llexcussos infesta per multis—Vine .
(8 ) Verses w ith only w eak Caesuras inthe first four feet are rare, but
w henoccas ionally introduced they contribute to the melody of the
versification as,
Diosma s , Daphninque tuum tollemus ad astra.
Daphnin[1ad astra feremus, umavitnos quoquoBald win—V136 .
202 APPENDIX.
(4) The 8d foot may not consist of a single word. Such verses as the,
follow ing are therefore bad
E t liquidi s imul ignes , his exordia p rim is .
Nonaliter quum.fervida qui freta remig efindit.
The follow ing exceptionoccurs inVirgil
Summa leves hinc nescio qud dulcedine la ter.
But nescio quis w as considered as equivalent to a single w ord.
(5) Verses w ithout Carsura inthe 3d foot are comparatively rare : as,
Eumenides, quibus anguineo red imita cap i llo.
— CATULL.
(6 ) A Verse, which has the strong Hephthem im eral Cae suraw ithout thestrong Penthem imeral, generally has the strong Trihem im eral : as.
Nonnagnom gravis (ere domum mih i dextra redibat.— V1RG.
rarely the‘
w eak Trihem imeral w ithout a Penthem im eral : as,
Degeneremque Neap tolemum narrare memento.—VIR G .
rarely the weak Penthem im eral w ithout a Trihem imeral : as,
Orphei CalliOp ea Lino formosus Ap ollo.—VIRG.
Armentar ius Afer ll ag it IItectumque Laremque.— V1RG.
rarely the two w eak Caesuras together as,
Una Enrasque Notusque ruunt,
creberque procellis.—V1Ra .
(7 Dialysis w ith stop after the 8d foot is rare, and to be very sparinglyIntroduced : as,
Montibus andiri fragor : et resonantia longa—Vine .
( 8 ) The strong Ennehem imeral Caesura (after the first syllable of the 5th
foot) is rare and harsh as,
Nec saturarejimo p ingui pudeat sola,neve.—VIR G.
Whenthe verse ends w ith a quadrisyllabic w ord, form ing anIonic aMmore, this Caesura is unavoidable as
,
P er connubia nostra, per incep tos I]hymenreos.—VIRG.
(9 ) Verses, inwh ich the latter halfmakes a double rhyme to the form er,
should be avoided : as,
Tragzeit: i , verbis virtutem illude superbis.—VIRG.
( 10) The sound and rhythm ofVerses may oftenbe suited to the sense ;thus Virg il uses Spondees to express slowness and difficulty ; Dacc
tyls to m ark rapidity and ease : as,
(a ) Illi inter sese magna vi bra chia tollunt.—VIRG.Ter sunt conati imponere Pelio Ossau
Scilieet,_ atque Oss iefrondosum involvere Olymp ian—Vina.
(b) Quadrup edante p utrem sanita quatit ungula campum.—Vx.w .
Sed fug it interea , fug it irrep a rabile temp us.— VIRG.
Labitur et [abetur inomne volubilis reaum.— HOR .
204 Ap rEm .
The Penthem imers may end w ith words that rhyme singly : as,
Iluc odes, ctnitidus casside solve comas. -C v.
But the double or Leonine rhyme is to be avo ided : as,
Quwrebantflavos p er nemus omnefavos .—Ov.
The word preceding the final disyllable should not be a monosyllable
F. THE ELEGIAC DISTICH .
a . Sentences are not often carried on from one distich to another at
all but whenthey are, there should be som e kind of pause inthe sense.
Attributives are not to be so separated from the w ords w h ich they
qualify but verbs and other predicates are occasionally so divided from
their subjects. A s,
Languor ct immod ici nulla sub vind ice somni,
Aleaque, et malto tempora gaus sa. mero,
Eripiunt omnes animo s ine vulnere nervos
Adfluit inca utis ins idiosas amor.— Ov.
( l ) The Elegiac Hexameter is much more restricted inits rhythm s than
the Hero ic. One of the Caesuras , strong or w eak, in the 3d foot,
is almost always present : almost alw ays, too , e ither the strong
Penthem imeral or the strong Hephthem imeral Cmsura. A Dia
lysis at the end of the 2d foo t, after a w ord of m ore than tw o
times, is bad.
'
Ennehem imeral Caesuras ( excep t after a mono
syllable ) , spondees in the fifth place , term inations by a w ord of
more thanthree syllables, &c. , must be avo ided.
A pause inthe sense is found, oftener thannot, at the close of the
Hexameter. Ovid very seldom interm ixes the sense from the be
g inning to the end of a distich and w henhe does so he takes care
to make the arrangem ent of w ords as neat and persp icuous as po s.
s ible as,
If the sense is carried on to the first w ord of the Pentameter, after
w hich is a p ause, thatw ord 18 usually a dactyl, often a trochee,
seldom a spondee or molossus, more rarely yet a choriambus.
( 4) Elisions should be sparingly and never harshly used. It has been
observed that in the first 1000 lines of the Fasti there are cut off
only 4 final syllables inm, 7 long , and 39 short vow els, making a
total of 50 , or anaverage of only one elisionin20 lines. And of

Instead of the Spondaic base we sometimes find anIambus, seldom a
Trochee : as,
Minister s etali, puer, Falerm CATULL.

A Spondee is som etimes put for the Dactyl, but very inharmoniously.
Th is Verse usually has either Dialysis after the second foot, or a
Ce sura after the first syllable ofthe third.

Sappho, the inventer of this verse (as also Catullus) often used the
double Trochee for Base but Horace always lengthens the 4th syllable .
The strong Caesura after the 5th syllable is alm ost always found ; occa~
sionally the w eak Caesura after the 6 th (short) syllable : as,
Nonsemel d icemus Hto triump he. H on.
One or the other is essential to the harmony of the verse.

The follow ing Rules for th e rhythm of the Alcaic stanz a must be Ob s
served
(a. ) Fi r s t and s e co nd l ine s.
( I) The short syllable at th e beg inning is to be very sparingiy used.
(2 ) T he Dialys is after the 5th syllable must b e generallv pre served.The instances of its absence are few : as,
Hostile a ratrum er ercitus insolcns. H OE.
Mentemque lympha tam Mareotioo . HOE.
But anElis ionOften occurs after it as,
Que Styx et invis li horrida Teenari.
(rt) A M onosyllable before the Dialys is is rare (unle ss w ith another
preceding ) but occasionally found : as,
Nil Claudia nonperficient mamas . Ho e.
Tefontium qui celat orig ines. Hon.
(4) A Monosyllable rarely occurs at the end of the line as
Neforte credas interitura ques. Hem
Excepting ct, w ith a prec eding e lision, wh ich is no t unfrequent : as,
J udex honestum prcetulit uti li et. - Ho a.
(b. ) T h i rd l ine.
( 1) The initial Iambus (short syllable ) is to be very seldom used.
Horace has only 10 ins tances, and of these only 2 inthe 3rd and 4thBooks of the Odes, wh ich are h is last and most finish ed compo sitions.
( 9 ) H orace never beg ins w ith a word of four syllables, unless anelisionfollows , as,
Funa lia et vectes et arm . Hoe .
and that very seldom : never w ith tw o disyllables. Sa sh lines as the
fo llow ing are th erefore had, and to be avoided entirely

A Mono syllable and Cretic are a lso to be avo ided. be ing but once used
