METRICAL INDEX.

AFTER thoroughly learning H. 671-675 and 608-669, or A. & S. 310
and 282-309, the student will be prepared to study and enjoy the ex-
quisite metre of Virgil. The well-known lines, –

"Strongly it | bears us a

but shadow forth one phase of the manifold capacities of the heroic
measure which Virgil employs with equal success to produce effects the
most diverse.

The chief difficulties in scanning the Aeneid (which have not been
already explained in the Notes) are solved in the following table. For
explanation of technical terms, consult the Grammar by the aid of the
Index: for elision see synaloepha; for lengthening of the syllable in the
arsis, see arsis and diastole, and A. & S. 309, (1.) See also my Remarks
at the end of this Index, with reference to Arsis, Hiatus (or non-elision
of a vowel before another vowel), and other points worthy of notice. Syn-
apheia is "such a connection of two consecutive verses that the first syl-
lable of the latter verse has an influence on the final syllable of that
which precedes, either by position, synaloepha, or echthlipsis.”
