A56572	Artificial versifying or, The school-boy's recreation A new way to make Latin verses. Whereby any one of ordinary capacity, that only knows the A.B.C. and can count 9 (though he understands not one word of Latin, or what a verse means) may be plainly taught, (and in as little a time as this is reading over,) how to make hundreds of hexameter verses, which shall be true Latin, true verse, and good sense. Never before publish'd.	Peter, John.	1677 (1677)	Wing P682A; ESTC R220464	6,836	27

the Letter n I add it to u and counting from thence to the ninth Column I find there the Letter t which putting down next to n I proceed to count from thence to the ninth Column in which finding a Blank I thereby know that the fourth Word of this Verse is wrote out and that that it hath no more letters then producunt To work out the fifth word of the Verse I apply the fifth Figure in order which is 8 to the fifth Table and counting the first Column thereof 9 I there make a stop and finding therein the letter s I put it down as you see above at a fit distance from the word producunt and from thence counting to the ninth Column I therein find the letter i and setting it down next to s I from thence reckon to the ninth Column and finding there the letter d I add it to i from whence counting to the ninth Column I find therein the letter e which I put down next to d and counting from thence to the ninth Column I there find the letter r which I add to e and proceed to reckon from thence to the ninth Column in which Finding the letter a I put it down to r and numbring from thence to the ninth Column I Find there a Blank by which I know that there are to be no more letters in the Fifth Word of the Verse then Sidera To work out the sixth and last Word of the Verse I apply the sixth and last Figure viz. 2 to the sixth and last Table and counting the first Column thereof 3 the next 4 and forwards till I come to the ninth Column wherein Finding the letter p I write it down at a convenient distance from the Word Sidera and from the Column wherein I found this p I count to the ninth Column and therein Finding the letter r I write it down next to p and reckoning on to the ninth Column from thence I Find therein the letter a which putting down next to r I reckon from thence to the ninth Column wherein finding the letter v I add it to a and counting from thence to the ninth Column I do therein Find the letter a and putting it down next to v I from thence proceed to count to the ninth Column and Finding therein a Blank I thereby understand that this Word is ended and there are to be no more letters in the sixth and last Word of the Verse then prava By which several Operations I have made it plain to you that in this Set of Figures 467182 the Figure 4 in the first place produceth the first word of the Verse Tristia the Figure 6 in the second place bringeth out the second word Fata the Figure 7 in the Third place produceth the third word tibi the Figure 1 in the fourth place worketh out the fourth word producunt the Figure 8 in the fifth place formeth out the fifth word Sidera and that the Figure 2 in the sixth and last place doth work out the sixth and last word of the Verse Prava Every of which 6 words being wrote down on a piece of Paper as before is taught as they were wrought out makes this Hexameter Verse Tristia fata tibi producunt sidera prava As to the Trueness of the Latin and the Verse I appeal to any ingenious Grammarian and as to the Sense I could wish the Physiologists had not subscribed their Probatum est You must Remember that when you put the Figure 9 amongst any Set of Figures and appropriate it to its proper Table you always count the first Column of that Table as 1 the next Column 2 and so reckon on till you come to the Ninth and so to proceed in the Operation as with any other Figure As for Example you will find done in this Set of Figures 988978 where the Figure 9 is in the first and fourth place which being workt out by these Tables produceth this Verse Perfida dicta mihi confirmant somnia multa Which Set of Figures if you place exactly backwards thus 879889 you will have a Verse wrought out consisting of Latin words quite different from the former which make an absolute Alteration in the Sense also For you are to know that the Alteration of the place of any of the six Figures you propose to make your Set of produceth a Verse different in Words and Sense You will find the last inverted Set of Figures if truly workt out by their respective Tables to yield this Verse Impia facta scio praedicunt sidera saepe By every way changing the Figures places will be produced such variety of different Latin words to compose Verses of causing such various Alteration in their Sense that these Operations cannot but prove very delightful to him that understands the Latin Tongue and not a little grateful to him takes pleasure in the Power of Numbers FINIS

ARTIFICIAL VERSIFYING OR THE SCHOOL-BOY'S Recreation A New WAY to make LATIN VERSES WHEREBY Any one of ordinary Capacity that only knows the A.B.C. and can Count 9 though he understands not one word of Latin or what a Verse means may be plainly taught and in as little a time as this is Reading over how to make Hundreds of Hexameter Verses which shall be True Latin True Verse and good Sense Arithmeticae ignarus hic ingrediatur Never before Publish'd LONDON Printed for John Sims at the Kings Head in Cornhil 1677. Artificial Versifying Or The School-Boy 's Recreation GREAT is the Force of Numbers in the Discovery of Natures Secrets the Reason of Numbers if we dare Credit Solomon in Wisd 11.20 was one of the chiefest Rules according to which God fram'd the World so that to set light by the power of Numbers is to undervalue the Wisdome of the great Creator who made use of them as the Prime Instruments by which he Modulated the whole Creation All the pleasure and satisfaction we can receive from Natural Speculations is but dull and insipid in comparison to the transporting Complacencies which from thence may be extracted by this kind of Harmony as is much better known unto every man by how much the more he is exercised in these Operations There hath been much time and diligence bestowed by industrious and learned Men of Communicative Spirits of Former Ages and of late years to Reduce their Arithmetical Theories into Practice to Fit their Conclusions to Instrumental Work for the benefit of illiterate Artificers And so successful have their endeavors proved that thereby commodious Advantages have accrued to Persons of diverse Faculties who though they have been altogether ignorant of Arithmetick and of all Literature yet by the benefit of Instrumental Operation they have been capacitated to perform such Conclusions as their respective Faculties required though thereof they have not been able to give a better Reason then That it is so because it is so Now least the Common Fidler who though ignorant in Musical Proportions can notwithstanding Play Tuneably on his Instrument And lest the Carpenter Glasier or Brick layer who though not at all Vers'd in Arithmetick can by his Rule know the Content of his Work should boast of their Advantages and Triumph over the Latinist and the Poet I have thought Fit to Publish this following Invention to stop the Career of their Mechanical Ostentation For by the following Tables any one of the meanest Capacity that only knows the A.

YOU are to know that every Verse which you are to make by these Tables will be an Hexameter Verse so called because those kind of Verses consist of Six Feet neither more nor less and will be made up of just Six Latin Words II. You are to Note that every one of those six Words are orderly to be produced out of the six Tables respectively viz. the first Word of the Verse is to be wrought out of the First Table the Second Word of the Verse is to be produced out of the Second Table the Third Word is to arise out of the Third Table and so the Fourth Fifth and Last Words of the Verse are to be wrought out of the Fourth Fifth and Sixth Tables respectively III. You are to understand that whenever you shall be minded to make a Verse by these Tables you must set down on a piece of Paper any Six of the Nine Figures called Digits viz. 1.2.3.4.5 6.7.8.9 But he that cannot write or reade may conceive any Six of them in his Minde and since he may be taught the Use of these Tables either by Word of Mouth or by Hearing these Directions read the thing to him will be the same thoroughout the whole Operation as to him that can write and reade IV. Six of any of those Nine Figures being set down on a Piece of Paper are as so many respective Keyes to the Six Tables the first Figure towards the left Hand is always to be applied to the first Table and is the Proper Key to that Table The second Figure always reckoning their places orderly towards the right Hand is to be always appropriated to the second Table The Third Figure in order is as the proper Key to the Third Table and so every one of the Six Figures are orderly to be applied to their respective Tables so that the first Figure out of the first Table produces the first Word of the Verse the second Figure by the second Table works out the second word of the Verse and so
