Excerpt from Poems, Ballads and BucolicsSome of these poems have appeared in contemporary periodicals. The Ballads, for the most part, record heroic deeds done in Great Britain and America during the past few years. The Bucolics are sketches from real life in Lincolnshire. The language of these latter has been made familiar by the poet Laureate. Those who find alterations in the diction will remember that changes have taken place in the dialect within the past fifty years. In a few instances variations in the spelling of the same word have been admitted because both forms are met with, in others the usual way of spelling has been adopted, e.g., graws for groas. The o before an i, wherever met with, should be pronounced very softly, it serves generally to give a broad sound to the i, as in squoire, toime. Sometimes the 0 has been omitted for fear of over emphasis in pronunciation, this especially when the oi precedes a k, as in the word loike.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
