Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Art of English Poetry, Vol. 1 So many are the Qualifications, as well natural a acquired that are essentially requisite to the Making of a good Poet, that ´this in vain for any Man to aim at a great Reputation on account of his Poetical Performances, by barely following the Rules of others, and reducing their Speculations into Practice. It may not be impossible indeed for Men, even of indifferent Parts, by making Examples to the Rules hereafter given, to compose Verses Smooth and well-founding to the Ear; yet if such Verses want strong Sense, Propriety, and Elevation of Thought, or Purity of Diction, they will be at left but what Horace calls them Versus inopes rerum, nugæque canoræ; and the Writers of then not Poets, but verifying Scriblers. I pretend not therefore by the flowing Sheets to teach a Man to be a Poet in Spight of Fate and Nature, but only to be of Help to the few are born to be fo, and whom audit vocatus Apolio. To this End I give in the first place Rules for making English Verse: And these Rules I have, according to the best of my Judgment, endeavour´d to extract from the Practise, and to frame after the Examples of the Poets that are most celebrated for a fluent and numerous Turn of Verse.
