english_a verse_n we_o use_v none_o other_o order_n but_o a_o foot_n of_o two_o syllable_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v depress_v or_o make_v short_a &_o the_o second_o be_v elevate_v or_o make_v long_o and_o that_o sound_a or_o scamn_v continue_v throughout_o the_o verse_n we_o have_v use_v in_o time_n past_o other_o kind_n of_o méeter_n as_o for_o example_n this_o follow_v no_o wight_n in_o

that_o the_o latinist_n do_v use_v and_o who_o so_o ever_o do_v peruse_v and_o well_o consider_v his_o work_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o although_o his_o line_n be_v not_o always_o of_o oneself_o

have_v such_o natural_a sound_n as_o may_v seem_v equal_a in_o length_n to_o a_o verse_n which_o have_v many_o more_o syllable_n of_o light_a accent_n and_o sure_o i_o can_v lament_v that_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o such_o a_o plain_n and_o simple_a manner_n of_o write_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o foot_n use_v but_o one_o whereby_o our_o poem_n may_v just_o be_v call_v rhythm_n and_o can_v by_o any_o right_a challenge_n the_o name_n of_o a_o verse_n but_o since_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o take_v the_o ford_n as_o we_o find_v it_o and_o let_v i_o set_v down_o unto_o you_o such_o rule_n or_o precept_n that_o even_o in_o this_o plain_a foot_n of_o two_o syllable_n you_o wrest_v no_o word_n from_o his_o natural_a and_o usual_a sound_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v hereby_o that_o you_o may_v use_v none_o other_o word_n but_o of_o two_o syllable_n for_o therein_o you_o may_v use_v discretion_n according_a to_o occasion_n of_o matter_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o word_n in_o your_o verse_n be_v so_o place_v as_o the_o first_o syllable_n may_v sound_v short_a or_o be_v depress_v the_o second_o long_a or_o elevate_v the_o three_o short_a the_o four_o long_a the_o five_o short_a etc_n etc_n for_o example_n of_o my_o meaning_n in_o this_o point_n mark_v these_o two_o verse_n i_o understand_v your_o meaning_n by_o your_o eye_n your_o meaning_n i_o understand_v by_o your_o eye_n in_o these_o two_o verse_n there_o seem_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o since_o the_o one_o have_v the_o very_a self_n same_o word_n that_o the_o other_o have_v and_o yet_o the_o latter_a verse_n be_v neither_o true_a nor_o pleasant_a &_o the_o first_o verse_n may_v pass_v the_o muster_n the_o fault_n of_o the_o latter_a verse_n be_v that_o this_o word_n understand_v be_v therein_o so_o place_v as_o the_o grave_a accent_n fall_v upon_o der_fw-mi and_o thereby_o make_v der_fw-mi in_o this_o word_n understand_v to_o be_v elevate_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o natural_a or_o usual_a pronunciation_n for_o we_o say_v understand_v and_o not_o understand_v 5_o here_o by_o the_o way_n i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o forewarn_v you_o that_o you_o thrust_v as_o few_o word_n of_o many_o syllable_n into_o your_o verse_n as_o may_v be_v and_o hereunto_o i_o may_v allege_v many_o reason_n first_o the_o most_o ancient_a english_a word_n be_v of_o one_o syllable_n so_o that_o the_o more_o monasyllable_n that_o you_o use_v the_o true_a englishman_n you_o shall_v seem_v and_o the_o less_o you_o shall_v smell_v of_o the_o inkhorn_n also_o word_n of_o many_o syllable_n do_v cloy_v a_o verse_n and_o make_v it_o unpleasant_a whereas_o word_n of_o one_o syllable_n will_v more_o easy_o fall_v to_o be_v short_a or_o long_o as_o occasion_n require_v or_o will_v be_v adapt_v to_o become_v circumflexe_n or_o of_o a_o indifferent_a sound_n 6_o i_o will_v exhort_v you_o also_o to_o beware_v of_o rhyme_n without_o reason_n my_o meaning_n be_v hereby_o that_o your_o rhyme_n lead_v you_o not_o from_o your_o first_o invention_n for_o many_o writer_n when_o they_o have_v lay_v the_o platform_n of_o their_o invention_n be_v yet_o draw_v sometime_o by_o rhyme_n to_o forget_v it_o or_o at_o least_o to_o alter_v it_o as_o when_o they_o can_v ready_o find_v out_o a_o word_n which_o may_v rhyme_v to_o the_o first_o and_o yet_o continue_v their_o determinate_a invention_n they_o do_v then_o either_o botch_v it_o up_o with_o a_o word_n that_o will_v rhyme_n how_o small_a reason_n soever_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o or_o else_o they_o alter_v their_o first_o word_n and_o so_o percase_o decline_v or_o trouble_v their_o former_a invention_n but_o do_v you_o always_o hold_v your_o first_o determine_v invention_n and_o do_v rather_o search_v the_o bottom_n of_o your_o brain_n for_o apt_a word_n than_o change_v good_a reason_n for_o rumble_a rhyme_n 7_o to_o help_v you_o a_o little_a with_o rhyme_n which_o be_v also_o a_o plain_a young_a scholar_n lesson_n work_v thus_o when_o you_o have_v set_v down_o your_o first_o verse_n take_v the_o last_o word_n thereof_o and_o count_v over_o all_o the_o word_n of_o the_o self_n same_o sound_n by_o order_n of_o the_o alphabet_n as_o for_o example_n the_o last_o word_n of_o your_o first_o line_n be_v care_n to_o rhyme_n therewith_o you_o have_v bare_a clare_z dare_v fare_v gare_fw-la hare_n and_o share_n mare_n snare_n rare_a stare_v &_o ware_n etc_n etc_n of_o all_o these_o take_v that_o which_o best_o may_v serve_v your_o purpose_n carry_v reason_n with_o rhyme_n and_o if_o none_o of_o they_o will_v serve_v so_o then_o alter_v the_o last_o word_n of_o your_o former_a verse_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o willing_o alter_v the_o meaning_n of_o your_o invention_n 8_o you_o may_v use_v the_o same_o figure_n or_o trope_n in_o verse_n which_o be_v use_v in_o prose_n and_o in_o my_o judgement_n they_o serve_v more_o apt_o and_o have_v great_a grace_n in_o verse_n than_o they_o have_v in_o prose_n but_o yet_o therein_o remember_v this_o old_a adage_n ne_o quid_fw-la nimis_fw-la as_o many_o writer_n which_o do_v not_o know_v the_o use_n of_o any_o other_o figure_n than_o that_o which_o be_v express_v in_o repetition_n of_o sundry_a word_n begin_v all_o with_o one_o letter_n the_o which_o be_v modest_o use_v dare_v good_a grace_n to_o a_o verse_n but_o they_o do_v so_o hunt_v a_o letter_n to_o death_n that_o they_o make_v it_o crambe_z and_o crambe_z bis_fw-la positum_fw-la mors_fw-la est_fw-la therefore_o ne_fw-la quid_fw-la nimis_fw-la 9_o also_o asmuch_o as_o may_v be_v eschew_v strange_a word_n or_o obsoleta_fw-la &_o inusitata_fw-la unless_o the_o theme_n do_v give_v just_a occasion_n marry_o in_o some_o place_n a_o strange_a word_n do_v draw_v attentive_a read_n but_o yet_o i_o will_v have_v you_o therein_o to_o use_v discretion_n 10_o and_o asmuch_o as_n you_o may_v frame_v your_o stile_n to_o
