? THE
ART OF RHETORIC.
The four proper Tropes.
A Metaphor, in place of proper words, 1
Resemblance puts ; and dress to speech affords.
A Metonymy does new names impose, 2
And Things for things by near relation shows.
Synecdoche the Whole for Part does take, 3
Or Part for Whole ; just for the metre's sake.
EXAMPLES.
1. He boils with a Tide (i. e. Excess) of Passion. They
breathe on (i. e. favour) my Enterprises. 2. The In-
ventor is taken for the Invented ; as, Mars (i. e. War)
rages. The Author for his Works ; as, I read Horace, (i.
e. his Writings. ) The Instrument for the Cause ; as, his
Tongue (i. e. Eloquence) defends him. The matter for
the Thing made ; as, the Steel (i. e. Sword) conquers.
The effect for the Cause ; as, cold Death, (i. e. Death
that makes cold. ) The subject containing for the Thing
contained ; I feed on dainties, (i. e. on food. ) The ad-
junct for the subject ; as, the Mace (i. e. Magistrate)
comes. 3. Ten Summers (i. e. Years) I have lived
under this Roof, (i. e. House. ) Now the Year (i. e.
Spring) is the most beautiful.
TERMS ENGLISHED.

Thinks otherwise than what the words declare.
Affections of Tropes.
A Catachresis words too far doth strain : 5
Rather from such abuse of speech refrain.
Hyperbole soars too high or creeps too low : 6
Exceeds the truth, things wonderful to show.
