9781113680136: Demonstrations in Greek Iambic Verse

Présentation de l'éditeur

Demonstrations are not printed with any idea -- of entering into competition with the masters of verse writing. I believe they contain no blunders, and they are as good as I can make them; but my aim is practical, namely, to teach those who know little about verses how they may learn more. In games we often learn more from those who are just good enough to beat us, than we could learn from professional players; and so I trust that if these verses are only a little better than the learner can make, he will learn from them none the less. What is here printed is the substance of composition lectures which I have been in the habit of giving for the last ten or twelve years. They have taken shape gradually, and bear signs of their origin in the cautions which will be found here and there. When the pupil is warned against a mistake, this is generally one which some pupil has actually made, and very often one which most pupils make.
