when_o the_o poet_n make_v use_v of_o a_o great_a many_o of_o its_o episodes_n and_o the_o other_o be_v when_o he_o give_v to_o each_o a_o considerable_a extent_n it_o be_v by_o this_o method_n that_o the_o epic_a poet_n extend_v their_o poem_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o the_o dramatic_a we_o must_v likewise_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v some_o part_n of_o a_o action_n which_o of_o themselves_o do_v natural_o present_v we_o but_o with_o one_o single_a episode_n as_o the_o death_n of_o hector_n that_o of_o turnus_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v likewise_o more_o fertile_a part_n of_o the_o fable_n which_o oblige_v the_o poet_n to_o form_v several_a episodes_n of_o each_o part_n though_o in_o the_o first_o model_n they_o be_v express_v in_o as_o simple_a a_o manner_n as_o the_o rest_n such_o be_v the_o fight_n between_o the_o trojan_n and_o the_o grecian_n the_o absence_n of_o ulysses_n the_o travel_n of_o aeneas_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o absence_n of_o ulysses_n from_o his_o own_o country_n during_o so_o many_o year_n together_o do_v necessary_o require_v his_o presence_n elsewhere_o and_o the_o design_n of_o the_o fable_n oblige_v he_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o several_a danger_n and_o upon_o several_a state_n now_o each_o danger_n and_o each_o state_n furnish_v matter_n for_o a_o episode_n which_o the_o poet_n may_v make_v use_n of_o if_o he_o please_v we_o conclude_v then_o that_o episodes_n be_v not_o action_n but_o the_o part_n of_o a_o action_n that_o they_o be_v not_o add_v to_o the_o action_n and_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o poem_n but_o that_o they_o constitute_v this_o action_n and_o this_o matter_n as_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n constitute_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o that_o upon_o this_o account_n they_o be_v not_o deduce_v from_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o the_o action_n that_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v and_o connect_v to_o the_o action_n but_o to_o one_o another_o that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o action_n be_v not_o so_o many_o episodes_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v amplify_v and_o extend_v by_o particular_a circumstance_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n whereby_o the_o poet_n rehearse_n a_o thing_n and_o last_o that_o this_o union_n between_o each_o other_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o episode_n and_o probable_a in_o the_o circumstance_n chap._n vii_o of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o action_n there_o be_v four_o qualification_n in_o the_o epic_a action_n the_o first_o be_v its_o unity_n the_o second_o its_o integrity_n the_o three_o its_o importance_n and_o the_o four_o its_o duration_n we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o in_o this_o place_n we_o shall_v consider_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o action_n not_o only_o in_o the_o first_o draught_n and_o model_n of_o the_o fable_n but_o in_o the_o extend_a and_o episodized_a action_n and_o in_o truth_n if_o the_o episodes_n be_v not_o add_v to_o the_o action_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v the_o necessary_a part_n thereof_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v comprehend_v in_o it_o and_o its_o unity_n still_o preserve_v and_o the_o fable_n which_o aristotle_n call_v episodical_a be_v such_o wherein_o some_o episodes_n that_o be_v foreign_a and_o not_o due_o connect_v add_v some_o action_n to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o poem_n and_o so_o spoil_v the_o unity_n of_o it_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o epic_a action_n as_o well_o as_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o fable_n do_v not_o consist_v either_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o hero_n or_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o time_n this_o be_v what_o we_o have_v already_o take_v notice_n of_o but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o tell_v wherein_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v than_o it_o be_v to_o discover_v wherein_o it_o do_v from_o the_o idea_n i_o have_v conceive_v thereof_o by_o read_v our_o author_n these_o three_o thing_n i_o suppose_v be_v necessary_a thereto_o the_o first_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o no_o episode_n but_o what_o arise_v from_o the_o very_a platform_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o action_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a member_n of_o this_o body_n the_o second_o be_v exact_o to_o unite_v these_o episodes_n and_o these_o member_n with_o one_o another_o and_o the_o three_o be_v never_o to_o finish_v any_o episode_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o entire_a action_n but_o to_o let_v each_o episode_n still_o appear_v in_o its_o own_o particular_a nature_n as_o the_o member_n of_o a_o body_n and_o as_o a_o part_n of_o itself_o not_o complete_a we_o have_v already_o establish_v the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o qualification_n in_o the_o doctrine_n we_o lay_v down_o concern_v the_o episodes_n and_o perhaps_o enough_o have_v be_v say_v about_o it_o but_o yet_o we_o will_v clear_v up_o this_o doctrine_n by_o some_o instance_n take_v from_o the_o principal_a episodes_n of_o the_o aeneid_n in_o the_o scheme_n we_o have_v draw_v of_o the_o fable_n and_o action_n of_o this_o poem_n we_o have_v observe_v that_o aeneas_n ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v a_o king_n new_o elect_v and_o the_o founder_n of_o a_o empire_n raise_v upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o decay_a state_n that_o this_o prince_n shall_v be_v oppose_v by_o wicked_a man_n and_o last_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v establish_v by_o piety_n and_o the_o force_n of_o arms._n the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o action_n be_v the_o alteration_n of_o a_o state_n of_o a_o king_n and_o of_o a_o priest_n and_o this_o be_v virgil_n first_o episode_n contain_v in_o his_o second_o book_n wherein_o the_o 2._o poet_n describe_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o trojan_a empire_n in_o asia_n the_o death_n of_o king_n priam_n and_o of_o the_o priest_n panthus_n to_o all_o this_o he_o add_v the_o choice_n which_o both_o god_n and_o man_n make_v of_o aeneas_n to_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o these_o two_o decease_a person_n and_o to_o re-establish_a the_o empire_n of_o the_o trojan_n in_o italy_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o action_n begin_v when_o aeneas_n set_v himself_o upon_o his_o duty_n execute_v the_o order_n he_o receive_v and_o march_n for_o italy_n virgil_n have_v place_v almost_o all_o this_o second_o episode_n in_o his_o three_o book_n the_o rest_n lie_v in_o the_o first_o in_o the_o five_o and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o seven_o the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o action_n be_v the_o establish_n religion_n and_o law_n religion_n consist_v in_o sacrifice_n in_o funeral_n rite_n and_o festival_n sport_n aeneas_n perform_v all_o these_o and_o the_o 3._o poet_n take_v care_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o advertise_v his_o reader_n that_o these_o ceremony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o so_o many_o particular_a action_n or_o as_o the_o simple_a effect_n of_o the_o hero_n piety_n upon_o some_o particular_a occasion_n but_o as_o sacred_a rite_n which_o he_o be_v go_v to_o 5._o transfer_v into_o italy_n under_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o founder_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n by_o this_o mean_n no_o body_n can_v doubt_v of_o his_o meaning_n nor_o take_v these_o act_n of_o religion_n and_o these_o episodes_n for_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o the_o necessary_a and_o essential_a part_n of_o his_o action_n and_o matter_n this_o part_n furnish_v the_o poet_n with_o several_a episodes_n which_o he_o distribute_v into_o several_a part_n of_o his_o work_n as_o in_o the_o three_o book_n where_o aeneas_n receive_v from_o helenus_n the_o ceremony_n which_o hereafter_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o institute_v in_o the_o five_o where_o he_o

the_o action_n these_o obstacle_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o juno_n passion_n and_o we_o may_v say_v that_o this_o opposition_n be_v no_o less_o proper_a to_o the_o aeneid_n than_o the_o opposition_n of_o neptune_n be_v to_o the_o odysseïs_n now_o we_o observe_v that_o aristotle_n place_v the_o anger_n of_o this_o god_n in_o the_o first_o draught_n of_o the_o greek_a poem_n among_o the_o
