Capitolo 82

_Silvae_ of Statius is also preceded by letters of prose of dedication. That
the strange imitation of the _Aulularia_ of Plautus, of the fourth century,
the _Querolus_, is in a form half prose and a half toward. A sentence starts
in prose and he/she meets away him with toward, as some of the epitaphs also does.  The
Epistles of Ausonius of the same century are combined of prose and a
great variety of toward. You give fifth and sixth centuries, a _melange_ of
toward or a combination of prose and verse it is very common, as one can see
in the writings of Martianus Capella, Sidonius Apollinaris, Ennodius and
Boethius. Shore again in modern durations, for example in the _La of Dante
Life Nuova_, in Boccaccio the et of _Aucassin Nicolette_, the _Heptameron_ the
_Celtic Ballads_, the _Arabian Nights_ and in _Alice in Wonderland_.

A small thought suggests that the prose-poetic form is a natural mean
of expression. A change from prose to toward, or from a form of verse to
another, suggests a change in the emotional condition of an orator or
writer. We clearly see that that enough you/he/she has illustrated in tragedy or comedy. In
the electrifying scene in the _Captives of Plautus_, for example where
Tyndarus is in deadly terror so that not the makeup that he has played on his
dominoes, Hegio, can be open, and he is delivered for working in chains in
dig him/it, the verse is the trochaic septenarius. Hardly the
anxiety is ended, it allows to fall to the iambic senarius. If we had to systematize
the commoner pours Latin in a sequence according to the emotional effects
what they produces, to the fund of the series the iambic ones would be standing
senarius. Above that it would come to toward of trochaic, and we should rise
taller airplanes of the exaltation as us we read the anapaestic or cretic, or
bacchiac. The greatest part of the life is common place. Accordingly the ground of common ownership
half for conversation or for the account in a composition as comedy
done on completely of verse is the senarius. Now this form of verse in his
the simple one, almost natural, quantitative setup is very near to write proses,
