(Greek Tragic Senarii. It presents in the first place a co...)
Greek Tragic Senarii. It presents in the first place a concise and practical account of the laws of Tragic I ambic, Trochaic, and Anapaestic Verse, and a few cursory notices of the dialect and peculiar phraseology of the Dramatic poets, to be improved and expanded by the reading and observation of the young student himself. These are followed by a graduated series of exercises: and the volume concludes with a few Greek translations, designed to furnish the beginner with specimens of the skill and tact by which the difficulties of version from one into another poetic language are overcome after a little practice. For such a purpose the best exercises of school and college are more suitable than the masterpieces of the most finished scholar of riper years. The boy who is told to imitate Euripides, Virgil or Cicero, will be rather damped than encouraged by this advice, unless he possesses that rare temperament, which thinks it were an easy leap to pluck bright honour from the pale-fac dmoon. But when the models proposed for his imitation are the exercises done by those who are nearly of the same age and under the same circumstances as himself, he at once feels and owns that he has before him a standard which may be reached, and, if he has a proper share of emulation, he will do all in his power to reach it.

Excerpt from Greek Verse Composition: For the Use of Public Schools and Private Students; Being a Revised Edition of the Greek Verses of Shrewsbury School This volume is intended to serve as a manual for the young composer of Greek Tragic Senarii. It presents in the first place a concise and practical account of the laws of Tragic Iambic, Trochaic, and Anapæstic Verse, and a few cursory notices of the dialect and peculiar phraseology of the Dramatic poets, to be improved and expanded by the reading and observation of the young student himself. These are followed by a graduated series of exercises: and the volume concludes with a few Greek translations, designed to furnish the beginner with specimens of the skill and tact by which the difficulties of version from one into another poetic language are overcome after a little practice. For such a purpose the best exercises of school and college are more suitable than the masterpieces of the most finished scholar of riper years. The boy who is told to imitate Euripides, Virgil or Cicero, will be rather damped than encouraged by this advice, unless he possesses that rare temperament, which thinks "it were an easy leap to pluck bright honour from the pale-fac'd moon." But when the models proposed for his imitation are the exercises done by those who are nearly of the same age and under the same circumstances as himself, he at once feels and owns that he has before him a standard which may be reached, and, if he has a proper share of emulation, he will do all in his power to reach it.
