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

JV PREFACE.

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

Page 6: An Elementary Grammar Ofthe Latin Language

PREFACE . V

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

'

atz'

ve Conjunc

tions,and to act, eel, &c., that ofDissociative terms also better in

themselves thanCopulajive and Difiunctz’

(1) TRANSITIVA, acting onanobject: as, am6 Deum,

I love God : or,

(2) INTRANSITIVA , vel NEUTRA , expressing a state

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.

(1) INFINITIVUS, an Infinitive (improper) Mood, ex

pressing the action of the Verb without re

lations of Person as, amare’

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 .

the Preterpluperfect as w ell as for the Preterperfect Tense as

( 1 ) Di ci t m 6 6m 6r6.

He says (that) I am loving .

Dixi t m 6 6m6r6.

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

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

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,

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

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

Page 128: An Elementary Grammar Ofthe Latin Language

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

(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

(e) The nam es of the months are Adjectives ag ree ing w ith mens is understood : J anua rius , Februarius , IWartius , Ap rilis , Ala ius . J unta s, J ulius.

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

urbs Roma agebat, quum primam Cimbrorum audita sunt a rma . TAO.

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.

XII. ROMAN MONEY .

a . T he As, or L ibra , w as originally the w eight of a pound of 12 ounceshence called as lioralis, and res gra ve. It was divided into parts

wh ich were nam ed according to their quotity, or number of ounces theycontained, as fo llow s

T he etym ology of bes is doubtful (some suppose bis trim s ) : dodrans isfor de-quadrans (A s— 9 : dextans for de-sextans (AH ) : deaux (A s

b. As w as the Roman unit, and w as used for any whole divided into12 equal parts ; w hich parts w ere called uncia’. H ence it was applied to

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

Quadrantes i 3

&c. &c.

Asses usurce 1 per cent per month 12 per cent p er annum .

Asses usurce w ere also called centesimce ; and bina: centesimce 2 per

per annum . H orace says : Quinas hie cap iti mercedes ez secat ( i. e.

quinas centes ima s) . (Th is man slices off 60 per cent from the cap ital ;

i . e. inlending a sum of m oney he deducts from it interest at the rate of

5 per cent per m onth 60 per cent p er annum . ) The meaning of

unciarium fmnus, w h ich w as the yearly interest legalised by the Tw elveTables, has beendisputed. In the D ictionary of Greek and RomanAn

tiqui ties, it is understood to m ean 1 uncia per as 8§ per cent per

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.

Page 208: An Elementary Grammar Ofthe Latin Language

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 .

Page 209: An Elementary Grammar Ofthe Latin Language

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 .

Page 211: An Elementary Grammar Ofthe Latin Language

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,

( 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

If there is a Dialysis after the first dactyl, there should be none after

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.

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,

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
