Seite 471 - Read Homer once, and you can read no more ; For all Books* else appear so mean, so* poor, Verse will seem Prose : but still persist to read*, And Homer will be all the Books you need1.
Seite 407 - In tragedy, nothing was so sure to surprizeand. cause admiration, as the most strange, unexpected, and consequently most unnatural, events and incidents ; the most exaggerated thoughts ; the most verbose and bombast expression ; the most pompous rhymes, and thundering versification.
