Synopsis
Excerpt from Trifles in Verse: Including Some Experiments in Latin Rhyme
Fob any illustrative, or explanatory remarks, as connected with the following trifles, I refer my readers to the notes. The Tentamz'na Me trica at the end of this little volume, are only the beginning of attempts undertaken on a much larger scale, in two of the modern lan guages, as well as in Latin. I do not apologize for English idiom, which, in these pieces, could not have been avoided, nor for English metre, which I did not mean to avoid. As, in the French, I have only preserved the Boat Song, I have incorporated it into the Latin division, ra ther than mix it with poems to which it had no reference. The Latin language is far the most unfit for monosyllabic rhyme, the Italian alone excepted which, from its still greater paucity of monosyllables, even than the Latin, Ifound.
