QUESTIONS AND SUOOESTIONS.
1. INVITATION. P. 9.
Explanation of the Lesson.
The poet asks 118 to go with him to
the old woods while they have still
then- serious face on :
before the dawn has begun to break ;
before the sleeping leaves have put
ott their gauzy wrappers of mist ;
before the birds have raise.] their
neatls from their downy pillows ;
before the little flower's cup is emp-
tied of the dew ; ^
before the distant brook can yet be
seen lightly touching the hill as it
comes down ;
It is at this early hour we feel the
solemn influence of the woods ;
then, while the nlothful are still in
tfte midst of some uneasy dream,
let ns begin the day. in the spirit of
prayer, with a walk in the darkened
woods.
Again, the poet invites us to visit the
woods when the wrinkled old trees
no longer look dark and gloomy,
but wear a joyous smile :
for now the sun has risen ;
Oh, come away to the grave old
woods
^« *he Bides are tinged with
light,
Ere the slumbering leaves of the
gloomy trees
^^i®,.^*"^ °ff **ie mists of
Nlgnt ;
Ere the birds are up,
Or the floweret's cup
Is drained of its fresh'ning dew.
Or the bubbling rUl
Kissing the hill.
Breaks on the distant view ;
Oh, such is the hour
To feel the power
Of tlie quiet, grave old woods !
Then, whUe sluggards dream
Of some dismal theme,
Let us stroll
With prayerful soul,
Through the depths of the grave
old woods. a ^^v

Jild, I lire for thoe,
In this exquisite and touching lyric, observe, first, that the materials
the most simple and familiar in the language. Of the 97 words used
kre are only eight of Latin, or rather French-Latin, origin .'-praised',
blest, moved, place, face (twice), tempest.-and these have been embedded
lour language from hve to eight hundred years. Then remark the recur-
*ice of the liquids (/, m, n, r) and of the sibilant (s), which detain the voice
1 j-ield rich cadences. Finally, the harmonious succession of words is
naged with consummate skill. In the first line if we re-arran^e the
irds thus : Home her loarrior theij brought dead, the grammar remains
iffected, but the music of the line is gone ! We have now a wheezing of
irates (home, her), a burring of r's (her ^carrier) and a gnashing of dentals
Yought, dead), bo, if we write the third line, Watching, all her maidens
Id, the line, once musical, now ends with a hiss.
IG. Nor swooned nor uttered cry, for neither, nor.
17. Stole a maiden from her place, an example of Inversion,— for a
nden stole ; give other instances from this poem.
18. Give an example of simile (6) from this poem.
19. Sweet my child, an order of words frequent in Old English. Without
bparent difference of meaning or of emphasis, Shakspeare uses Sweet my
Td, and My sweet lord ; he also has Good my brother. Oh ! poor our
X, etc. In such forms Abbott (comparing the French monsieur, milord)
Igards the combination, my child, as a noun.

I Break, break, break : This lyric, like the poems collected under the general

I must not look for the same close and orderly succession of ideas as may
I justly be asked in other forms of poetry. The poem must, within a certain
I distance, be true to nature, and overwhelming grief often speaks in broken
I ")*®''*'^°^s. In Tennyson's beautiful lyric we may conceive the succession
of the poet s thoughts to have run somewhat thus '.—1st stanza. The break-
ing sea IS telling to the cold, gray stones its ancient sorrow ; would that my
swelling heart could assuage, even in broken words, the billows of its grief !
Znd stanza. But this silent, solitary brooding is not well. Yon fisher's boy
loreets his hard lot in boisterous play ; yon sailor-lad sings away the shadow
j of his fate. I will arouse me. Srd stanza. The march of yon stately ships
I stirs my blood ; but, alas ! the thrill is already quenched by his absence who

Ottava Rima was introduced by Surrey from the Continent, where it
long been a favorite measure. Pulci used it for his Morgante Maggiore,
Byron for his translation of the same, and in his Don Juan; Ariosto
his Orlando Furioso; Tasso for his ffierusalemme Liberata; the great
its of Spain and Portugal for their epics.
'. Spenserian stanza,— eight iambic pentameters rhyming at intervals,
[fied with a rhyming hexameter or " Alexandrine. " The latter name was
>hed to a 6- iambic line from the fact that early romances on Alexander
Great were written in this metre. Drayton's Pohjolbion is written in
jxandrines. The Spenserian stanza is used by Soenser {Faei-ie Queene),
ittie {Mmstrel), and Byron (ChUde Harold). For examples, see Byron,

The ode proper is distinguished by its irregular measures (cf. 3, II) ;
cntical examinations of this foixa of poetry, see p. 172, 164.
. C^suRAOB Metrical Pause. —Beside the pause which occurs at the
|d of each hne of poetry,— and which indeed originally caused poetry to
written in ' verses " rather than in continuous lines,— a metrical pause
Caesura " also occurs once, or sometimes oftener, in the body of every
rmonious verse. The Caesura may or may not coincide nith a punctuated
ose ; but i;> the best poets it coincides with a natural pause in the sense.
leEnglish Caesura differs from the Latin and the Greek m never dividing a
)rd ; It unifonnly follows an emphatic word or syllable unless that syllable
the first of a long word or be followed by short monosyllables. In Pope's
|r8ification the constant recurrence of the caesura at or near the middle of
e hnes, and generally after long syllables (see Pope, pp. 23, 347, 389) gives
Jloying sweetness. Shakspeare, Milton, Wordsworth, and Keats afford a
Bh variety in their caesuras. Take for example this famous passage from
Merchant of Venice. Act IV. sc. 1 :—
" The quality of Mercy | is not strain'd.
It droppeth ( as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. | It is twice bless'd ;
It blesseth him that gives, | and him that takes ;
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; I it becomes
The throned monarch I oetter than his crown ;
It is an attribute | to God himself."
