Rhymes of English Poets of the Xixth Century by Gustav Bartling Pdf
Excerpt from Rhymes of English Poets of the Xixth Century The poet of times past long ago, complaining, to make use of his own expression, of that dira necessitas metri intends to hint at all those difficulties, arising to him from the quantity of the vowels in each particular word, and increasing from the fluctuation of this particular word itself (produced by declension for instance), as well as from the influence exerted over the last syllable of this word by the consonants or vowels beginning the following one. As to the poets of many nations of modern times, there has come out by and by another difficulty, which, if not of equal importance, yet, when not sufficiently looked too, may greatly contribute to derogate enormously from the beauties aimed at in composing a poetical production. The difficulty alluded to consists, since rhymes have become almost an indispensable accessory to poesy, in the correctness of the rhyme itself.
