Strana 93 - Person, in his celebrated preface to the Hecuba, asserted that the following rule was always observed by the Greek tragedians : — " When an Iambic Trimeter ends in a trisyllable or a quasitrisyllable,1 preceded by a word of two or more syllables, then the fifth foot must be an Iambus or a Tribrach.
Strana 101 - Iliae dum se nimium querenti Jactat ultorem, vagus et sinistra Labitur ripa (Jove non probante) uxorius amnis.
Strana 50 - ... novae litterae sonum reddat; neque enim eximitur, sed obscuratur, et tantum aliqua inter duas vocales velut nota est, ne ipsae coeant.
Strana 64 - Plena' fidei. Observe here the elision of the final i in plenus, before a consonant, in the beginning of the next word. The earlier Latin poets were in the habit of frequently eliding the letter s, in words ending in w and us, when followed by a word beginning with a consonant, and thus permitting the vowel to remain short. — Fidei. As regards the penult in this word, consult Anthon's Lat. Pros., p. 17, note. Sollicitari te Titc, &c.

Strana 85 - Pi-aemia si studio consequor ista, sat est. 0. TV, vii., 68. But such a line as the following must be considered altogether unworthy of imitation : — Omnis an in magnos culpa deos scelus est. 0. EPI, vi., 26. 5. The trisyllabic ending, although very common in the Greek poets, in Catullus, &c., may be said to be altogether excluded from the Ovidian Pentameter; we find one example only in his earlier works, and five others in the Epistles from Pontus, which together with the Tristia, were composed...
Strana 101 - Otium divos rogat in. patenti prensus Aegaeo, simul atra nubes condidit lunam neque certa fulgent sidera nautis ; otium bello furiosa Thrace, otium Medi pharetra decori, Grosphe, non gemmis neque purpura venale neque auro. non enim gazae neque consularis summovet lictor miseros tumultus mentis et curas laqueata circum tecta volantes.
Strana 29 - Ehren zu bringen versucht: refert cum dicimus, errare nos ait Verrius. esse enim rectum rei fert, dativo scilicet, non ablativo casu, sed esse iam usu possessum.
Strana 47 - Heyne, on the other hand, has spondeo, which involves a metrical difficulty, for о final in verbs is very rarely shortened by writers of the Augustan age, and (excluding the present instance) no example occurs in Virgil of the final о in a verb being left short, except in scio and nescio.
