A square field appears not such to the eye when viewed from any part of it; and the centre is the only place where a circular field preserves in appearance its regular figure.

This discovery, joined with another, that the foregoing part of the verse could be measured by the same feet, probably led grammarians to adopt these artificial measures, and perhaps rashly to conclude, that the pronunciation is directed by these feet as the composition is: the Dactyle and the Spondee at the close, serve indeed to regulate the pronunciation as well as the composition; but in the foregoing part of the line, they regulate the composition only, not the pronunciation. Henry St. John, Lord Bolingbroke (1678–1751), was a Tory statesman and a friend of Pope and Swift.

This question cannot be resolved by any general rule: if the natural order be not relished, a few trials will discover that artificial order which has the best effect; and this exercise, supported by a good taste, will in time make the choice easy. This however is copied literally by one of our greatest poets; early indeed, before maturity of taste or judgement: - Thames heard the numbers as he flow'd along, - And bade his willows learn the moving song.
And, as he parted, left a blessing for her. Nec turbato oritur quondam minor aequore pugna: - Confligunt animosi Euri certamine vasto. Nunc illud tantum quaeram, meritone tibi sit.

But the vulgar, great and small, are entertained with the oddness and singularity of a resemblance, however distant, between a tree and an animal. Here Cowley is extremely licentious: take the following instance. It is proper to be observed upon this head, that writers of inferior rank are continually upon the stretch to enliven and enforce their subject by Edition: current; Page: [632] exaggeration and superlatives.
