Capitolo 57
composition takes the form than toward the possibilities in the way of
contrast is widely increased. The tall degree of perfection to that
Horace brought the balancing and connecting some ideas in some of his
Hates, illustrate the great advantage that had on the Latin poet the
Writer English because of the flexibility of the mean of expression
what he used. This advantage was the birthright of the Roman, and it lends a
certain distinction also to the verses of the people that we am
discussing here. Some other qualities adjective of these metricals
epitaphs that he intends that they produce rather the same effects, the wish
you don't seem to us so admirable. I intend the alliteration, games on words, the
setup of acrostic and effects of epigrammatic. These literary makeups find
few rarely puts in our serious verse and the Latin and more excellent poets
satisfy in them. They seems to be out especially of place in an epitaph,
what you/he/she should avoid studied effects and equipments of meretricious. But writers
in the initial phases of a literature and people common of every discovery of periods
a pleasure in them. The alliteration, onomatopoeia, the pun and the play on
words will be found in all the first Latin poets, and they is
especially frequent with literary men likes Plautus and Terence Pacuvius,

strange name of Mater or Mother, and on his/her stands of headstone the
sentiment:[53] "Mater that I was from name mater that I won't be from law."
"Sepulcrum hau pulcrum pulcrai feminae" of the famous Claudia
inscription,[54] Teacher Lane made not cleverly "Place sightly of a
dame of sightly." Entirely over my power to translate in the English, as to
reproduces his/her complicated play on words, it is the proper epitaph of the
rhetorician, the lovinus:[55 of Romanius]
"Docta loqui doctus quique loqui docuit."
