CHAPTER V.
Diuresis, Episnthesis, and Paragoge.
Dijeresis is the division of one syllable into two; as
Aura, aurai.
This figure is most commonly introduced into a word by dividing
a diphthong or a syllable composed of two vowels into two sepa-
rate syllables; as . Suadeo for suadeo, Ueliquiis for reliquus; by
changing the consonants j and v into the vowels i and u; as
Sylua for sylva, Troia for Troja; and in words derived from the
Greek by changing i into ei; as Elegei'a for elegia.
-- Epenthesis is the addition of a letter or syllable in the
middle of a word; as Alitum, alituum; Reliquiae, relli-
quiae.
Paragoge is the addition of a letter or syllable to the
end of a word; as Dici, dicier.
The words, which are most frequently lengthened by this figure,
are verbs passive and verbs deponent in the infinitive mood.
Another figure, by which words were sometimes lengthened, is
termed prosthesis; it added a letter or syllable to the beginning
of a word; as Gnatus for natus, Tetuli for tuli.
Besides the introduction of one of the preceding figures
into each of the following exercises, the arrangement of
the words must be changed; in the exercises, which are
translated, this change may he confined to one word only
in each line.

CHAPTER VI.
ENALLAGE OR VARIATION OF WORDS.
In the composition of Latin verse, it will often be found-
necessary not only to change the prosaic arrangement of
the words, but to substitute, for some of the expressions,
other phrases of the same signification, but of different
length and quantity.
The language of poetry differs in so many respects from the lan-
guage of prose, that any attempt to form rules, by which the one
may be changed into the other, would be vain and absurd. This
change can be effected only by an intimate acquaintance with the
beauties of composition, united with a poetical and active imagi-
nation. It is not consequently the object of this chapter to point
out any method of changing prose into poetry, but simply to fur-
nish observations and exercises, which may be of some assistance
in forming language, that is already poetical, into regular verse. '
Enallage is the substitution of one word for another.
The singular number may frequently be changed into
the plural, and the plural into the singular; as Mella,
nostri, flore, for mel, mei, floribus:
Fervet opus, <<jdolentque thymo fragrantia mella.
Nil nostrl miserVe? mori me denique coges?
Quotque in floreTrjvo pomis se fertilis arbos
Induerat, totidem autumno matura tenebat. ViRG.
This change of number is not confined to substantives, but is
equally frequent in pronouns and verbs, when they are of the first

person. The substitution of Noster for meus is also a common
irregularity.
Adverbs are often changed into adjectives, which are
most commonly made to agree with a noun, but which
are sometimes put in the neuter gender singular or plural;
as Ardentes, recens, transversa, for ardenter, recenter,
transverse:
Instant ardentes Tyrii; pars ducere murtos.
Sole recens orto, aut noctem ducentibus astris.
Novimus et qui, te, transversa tuentibus hircis. Virg.
A substantive of the genitive case may frequently be
changed into an adjective agreeing with the preceding
noun, and a noun in the genitive may sometimes be used
instead of an adjective; as Humanis for hominum, and
Hominum for humanis:
Nesciaque humanis precibus mansuescere corda.
Aut deus ille malis hominum mitescere discat. Virg.
A participle may sometimes be substituted for a verb,
for a relative and verb, and for a conjunction and verb;
as Fassus, spretae portans, for passus est, qua; spreta erat,
et portat:
Multa quoque et bello passus dum conderet urbem.
Nec dum etiam causae irarum saevique dolores
Exciderant animo: manet alta mente repostum
Judicium Paridis, spretaeque injuria formae.
Gens inimica mihi Tyrrhenum navigat aequor,
Ilium in Italiam portans, victosque Penates. Virg.
A compound is often used instead of its simple word,
and the simple word instead of its compound; as Mittite,
consequitur, evinctus, for omittite, sequitur, vinctus:
Experti, revocate animo6, mcestumque timorem

Mittite; forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit.
Quem modo navali Mnestheus certatnine victor
Consequitur, viridi Mnestheus evinctus oliva. Virg.
A repetition of a word or of several words may some-
times be used, instead of a conjunction, to connect the
parts of a sentence; as Nunc and super multa foret:
Nunc omnis ager, nunc omnis parturit arbos;
Nunc frondent sylvae; nunc formosissimus annus.
Multa super Priamo rogitans, superHectoremulta.
Virg.
The verb Sum may sometimes be elegantly changed
into a verb neuter; as Horrent for sunt:
Namque aliae turpes horrent, ceu pulvere ab alto
Cum venit, et terram sicco spuit ore viator. Virg.
The verb Sum, with a dative expressed or understood,
is often elegantly used for habeo; as Sunt nobis poma for
habemus poma:
Hie tamen hanc mecum poteris requiescere noctem
Fronde super viridi. Sunt nobis mitia poma. Virg.
An active verb may sometimes be changed into the
passive voice, and a neuter verb into a verb impersonal, by
altering the construction of the sentence; as Insidiis ca-
piere and discumbitur, for insidiae capient te and discum-
bunt:
Si ver6 solem ad rapidum lunasque sequentes
Ordine respicies, nunquam te crastina fallet
Hora, neque insidiis noctis capiere serenae.
Jam pater iEneas et jam Trojana juventus
Conveniunt, stratoque super discumbitur astro. Virg.

violating the rules of syntax; as Delphinum for delphini-
bus:
Delphinum similes, qui per maria humida nando
Carpathium Libycumque secant, luduntque per undas.
Virg.
Any word may be changed into a synonymous term or
a word of the same signification: that word, however, is
always to be preferred in versification, which expresses
the idea most clearly, most forcibly, and most poetically.
All the preceding changes of words cannot strictly he referred
to enallage, neither have all the changes been specified, which the
introduction of this figure often occasions; those only have been
mentioned, which are of the most frequent assistance in versifica-
tion, and which do not require of the young student any consider-
able knowledge of the idiom of the language, or of the usage of
the poets.
The situation of one word is required to be changed in
each verse of the following exercises, except in those lines
which are designed to exemplify the foregoing observations.
