ABSTRACT
By the Author of An Enquiry into the Beauties of Painting
Concordant carmina nervis.
Ovid. Metam.[“the lyre responds in harmony to song”]
Carminis suavitas, numerique, non solum ad aurium delectationem compositi, sed ad res ipsas exprimendas, omnemque animi motum concitandum efficaces. Lowth de Sacr. Poet. Hebraeorum.
[The pleasantness of the poem and the metre is composed not only in order to delight the ears, but is capable also to express the content and to stir up every motion in the soul.]
