Excerpt from A Collection of Examples Illustrating the Metrical Licenses of Vergil The Metrical Licenses of Vergil are sufficiently explained, perhaps, in the school editions and the school grammars. Teachers, however, frequently feel the need of a more copious collection of examples, drawn from Vergil exclusively, than these books afford, and such a collection with a few helps in the form of notes is all that this pamphlet pretends to furnish. In the examples Ribbeck's text is followed, strictly, even in orthography and punctuation, except that I have begun each sentence and verse with a capital letter. Teachers should turn to his last edition (Leipzig, 1894) for the explanation of unfamiliar readings. References are made to the school grammars with the usual abbreviations, and also to Miiller's Greek and Roman Versification, translated by Platuer (Boston, 1892), Gossrau's Aeneid (Leipzig, 1846) and Wagner's Vergil (Leipzig, 1830). It should be understood that the marks of quantity in both examples and notes refer to syllables, not vowels. No system has been followed in the arrangement of the several topics, but the indexes will enable the teacher to provide without trouble for the difficulties of each day's lesson. These examples were collected in the first place for the Teachers Class in the Summer School of the Indiana University.
