passion_n which_o the_o ancient_n think_v most_o proper_a for_o love-verse_n be_v want_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o must_v allow_v dr._n donne_n to_o have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a wit_n mr._n waller_n a_o very_a gallant_a writer_n sir_n john_n suckling_n a_o very_a gay_a one_o and_o mr._n cowley_n a_o great_a genius_n yet_o metbink_v i_o can_v hardly_o fancy_v any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a lover_n and_o it_o grieve_v i_o that_o the_o ancient_n who_o can_v never_o have_v handsome_a woman_n than_o we_o have_v shall_v nevertheless_o be_v so_o much_o more_o in_o love_n than_o we_o be_v but_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o great_a reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v the_o cruelty_n of_o our_o lady_n for_o a_o man_n must_v be_v imprudent_a indeed_o to_o let_v his_o passion_n take_v very_o deep_a root_n when_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v any_o sort_n of_o return_n to_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o petition_n make_v to_o the_o fair_a that_o they_o will_v be_v please_v sometime_o to_o abate_v a_o little_a of_o their_o rigour_n for_o the_o propagation_n of_o good_a verse_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o they_o shall_v confer_v their_o favour_n upon_o none_o but_o man_n of_o wit_n that_o will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o confinement_n indeed_o but_o that_o they_o will_v admit_v they_o upon_o the_o same_o foot_n with_o other_o people_n and_o if_o they_o please_v now_o and_o then_o to_o make_v the_o experiment_n i_o fancy_v they_o will_v find_v entertainment_n enough_o from_o the_o very_a variety_n of_o it_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o poem_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o love_n pastoral_n elegy_n and_o lyric_a verse_n under_o which_o last_o i_o comprehend_v all_o song_n ode_n sonnet_n madrigal_n and_o stanza_n of_o all_o these_o pastoral_n be_v the_o low_a and_o upon_o that_o account_n perhaps_o most_o proper_a for_o love_n since_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o passion_n to_o render_v the_o soul_n soft_a and_o humble_a these_o three_o sort_n of_o poem_n ought_v to_o differ_v not_o only_o in_o their_o number_n but_o in_o the_o design_n and_o in_o every_o thought_n of_o they_o though_o we_o have_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o verse_n of_o pastoral_n and_o elegy_n in_o the_o modern_a language_n yet_o the_o number_n of_o the_o first_o ought_v to_o be_v loose_a and_o not_o so_o sonorous_a as_o the_o other_o the_o thought_n more_o simple_a more_o easy_a and_o more_o humble_a the_o design_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o represent_v the_o life_n of_o a_o shepherd_n not_o only_o by_o talk_v of_o sheep_n and_o field_n but_o by_o show_v we_o the_o truth_n sincerity_n and_o innocence_n that_o accompany_v that_o sort_n of_o life_n for_o though_o i_o know_v our_o master_n theocritus_n and_o virgil_n have_v not_o always_o conform_v in_o this_o point_n of_o innocence_n theocritus_n in_o his_o daphnis_n have_v make_v his_o love_n too_o wanton_a and_o virgil_n in_o his_o alexis_n place_v his_o passion_n upon_o a_o boy_n yet_o if_o we_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o censure_v those_o who_o we_o must_v always_o reverence_v i_o take_v both_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v fault_n in_o their_o poem_n and_o shall_v have_v be_v better_o please_v with_o the_o alexis_n if_o it_o have_v be_v make_v to_o a_o woman_n and_o with_o the_o daphnis_n if_o he_o have_v make_v his_o shepherd_n more_o modest_a when_o i_o give_v humility_n and_o modesty_n as_o the_o character_n of_o pastoral_n it_o be_v not_o however_o but_o that_o a_o shepherd_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o boast_v of_o his_o pipe_n his_o song_n his_o flock_n and_o to_o show_v a_o contempt_n of_o his_o rival_n as_o we_o see_v both_o theocritus_n and_o virgil_n do_v but_o this_o must_v be_v still_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o if_o the_o occasion_n offer_v itself_o and_o be_v not_o seek_v and_o proceed_v rather_o from_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o shepherd_n passion_n than_o any_o natural_a pride_n or_o malice_n in_o he_o there_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o same_o difference_n observe_v between_o pastoral_n and_o elegy_n as_o between_o the_o life_n of_o the_o country_n and_o the_o court._n in_o the_o first_o love_v aught_o to_o be_v represent_v as_o among_o shepherd_n in_o the_o other_o as_o among_o gentleman_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v smooth_a clear_a tender_a and_o passionate_a the_o thought_n may_v be_v bold_a more_o gay_a and_o more_o elevate_v than_o in_o pastoral_n the_o passion_n they_o represent_v either_o more_o gallant_a or_o more_o violent_a and_o less_o innocent_a than_o the_o other_o the_o subject_n of_o they_o prayer_n praise_n expostulation_n quarrel_n reconcilement_n threaten_n jealousy_n and_o in_o fine_a all_o the_o natural_a effect_n of_o love_n lyric_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o handle_v all_o the_o same_o subject_n with_o elegy_n but_o to_o do_v it_o however_o in_o a_o different_a manner_n a_o elegy_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o entire_o one_o thing_n and_o every_o verse_n ought_v so_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o other_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o subsist_v alone_o or_o to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n of_o a_o mulgrave_n great_a modern_a critic_n there_o must_v be_v a_o just_a coherence_n make_v between_o each_o thought_n and_o the_o whole_a model_n lay_v so_o right_a that_o every_o step_n may_v high_o rise_v like_o goodly_a mountain_n till_o they_o reach_v the_o sky_n lyric_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n though_o they_o ought_v to_o make_v one_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o yet_o may_v consist_v of_o part_n that_o be_v entire_a of_o themselves_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o modern_a language_n that_o every_o stanza_n ought_v to_o make_v up_o a_o complete_a sense_n without_o run_v into_o the_o other_o frequent_a sentence_n which_o be_v account_v fault_n in_o elegy_n be_v beauty_n here_o beside_o this_o malherb_n and_o the_o french_a poet_n after_o he_o have_v make_v it_o a_o rule_n in_o the_o stanzas_n of_o six_o line_n to_o make_v a_o pause_n at_o the_o three_o and_o in_o those_o of_o ten_o line_n at_o the_o three_o and_o the_o seven_o and_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o this_o exactness_n render_v they_o much_o more_o musical_a and_o harmonious_a though_o they_o have_v not_o always_o be_v so_o religious_a in_o observe_v the_o latter_a rule_n as_o the_o former_a but_o i_o be_o engage_v in_o a_o very_a vain_a or_o a_o very_a foolish_a design_n those_o who_o be_v critic_n it_o will_v be_v a_o presumption_n in_o i_o to_o pretend_v i_o can_v instruct_v and_o to_o instruct_v those_o who_o be_v

ought_v perhaps_o to_o be_v more_o indulgence_n show_v to_o thing_n of_o love_n and_o gallantry_n than_o any_o other_o because_o they_o be_v general_o write_v when_o people_n be_v young_a and_o

the_o correctness_n of_o judgement_n it_o may_v be_v also_o observe_v that_o to_o write_v of_o love_n well_o a_o man_n must_v be_v real_o in_o love_n and_o to_o correct_v his_o write_n well_o he_o must_v be_v out_o of_o love_n again_o i_o be_o well_o enough_o satisfy_v i_o may_v be_v in_o circumstance_n of_o writing_n of_o love_n but_o i_o be_o almost_o in_o despair_n of_o ever_o be_v in_o circumstance_n of_o correct_v it_o this_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v a_o reason_n for_o the_o fair_a and_o the_o young_a to_o pass_v over_o some_o of_o the_o fault_n and_o as_o for_o the_o grave_a and_o
