Mnigma in dark words the sense conceals ; 18
But, that once known, a riddling speech reveals.
Figures of Words of the same sound.
Antanaclasis in one sound contains 19
More meanings, which the various sense explains*
By Ploce one a proper name repeats ; 20
Yet as a common noun the latter treats.
Anaphora gives more sentences one head ; 21
As readily appear to those that read.
Epistrophe more sentences doth close 22
With the same words, whether in verse or prose.
Symploce joins these figures both together, 23
And from both jbin'd makes up itself another.
Epanalepsis words doth recommend, 24
The same at the beginning and the end.
Anadiplosis ends the former line 25
With what the next does for its first design.
EXAMPLES.
18. Nilotis's Quill brought forth the Daughters of
Cadmus, (i. e. a Pen made of a Reed growing by the side
of the River Nile wrote the Greek Letters invented by
Cadmus. ) 19. Who can deny that Nero is descended from
jEneas ? The former took off (i. e. killed) his mother ;
the latter took off (i. e. affectionately removed from dan-
ger) his father. 20. In that Victory Caesar was Coesar,
(i. e. a most serene Conqueror. ) 21. Peace crowns our
Life ; Peace does our Plenty breed. 22. We are born in
Sorrow; pass our time in Sorrow ; end our days in Sor-

the majority of the people of their right of suffrage ? Rullus.
Who presided at the comitia ? The same identical Rullus .
24. Many ^ questions anxiously asking about Priam, about
Hector, many. 25. And yet this man is permitted to
live : -- to live ? Yea, and even to come into the senate !

Prolepsis your objection doth prevent, 42
With answers suitable and pertinent.
Epitrope gives leave, and facts permits, 43
Whether it speaks sincere, or counterfeits.
Figures for Amplifying.
An Incrementum by degrees doth rise, 44
And from a low t' a lofty pitch it flies.
Synonymy doth divers words prepare, 45
Yet each of them one meaning doth declare,
A SynathrcBsmus sums up various things, 46
And as into one heap together brings.
Apophasis, pretending to conceal 47
The whole it meant to hide, must needs reveal.
A Paraleipsis cries ; " I leave 't behind, 47
I let it pass ;" tho' you the whole may find.

<? 2. What then ? shall we sin, because we are not
under the Law, but Grace ? God forbid. 43. Ga, take
your Course, I will not stop your Rambles. 44. The

? ART OF RHETORIC. 133
Prolepsis your objection doth prevent, 42
With answers suitable and pertinent.
Epitrope gives leave, and facts permits, 43
Whether it speaks sincere, or counterfeits.
Figures for Amplifying.
An Incrementum by degrees doth rise, 44
And from a low t' a lofty pitch it flies.
Synonymy doth divers words prepare, 45
Yet each of them one meaning doth declare,
A SynathrcBsmus sums up various things, 46
And as into one heap together brings.
Apophasis, pretending to conceal 47
The whole it meant to hide, must needs reveal.
A Paraleipsis cries ; " I leave 't behind, 47
I let it pass ;" tho' you the whole may find.
EXAMPLES.
<? 2. What then ? shall we sin, because we are not
under the Law, but Grace ? God forbid. 43. Ga, take
your Course, I will not stop your Rambles. 44. The
Wickedness of a Mob, the cruel Force of a Tyrant,
Storms and Tempests, even Jupiter's Thunder; nay, if
the World should fall, it cannot disturb the just Man, nor
shake his solid Resolution. 45. Freedom and Liberty ;
He is yet alive ; he breathes sethereal Air. 46. Thief,
Tailor, Miller, Weaver, &c. 47.
