IX, X, XI. These are the three Articles formerly mentioned, namely,
the _Alliteratio_, the _Allusio Verborum_, and the _Assonantia
Syllabarum_.


1. As to the _Alliteratio_. This is of several Kinds, it is _Initial_,
_Single_ and _Double_; sometimes _Treble_, or more frequent. It is
likewise _Mix'd_, that is, both in the first Letters of the Words, and
in the following Syllables. It is sometimes so often repeated, that it
may be term'd _Assultus_, or an Attack upon, or a storming of the Ear.

The following are Examples of the _Single Alliteratio_.

"_Quid faciat lætas_ segetes, _quo_ sidere _terram_
Vertere, _Mæcenas_, _ulmisque adjungere_ vites,
Conveniat: _quæ_ cura _boum_, _qui_ cultus _habendo_.

Again,

"--_Sed_ viva volare
_Sideris in numerum_.--

And,

"--_Asia longe_
Pulia palus.--

Of the _Double_ initial _Alliteratio_, this is an Example:

"_Totaque thuriferis Panchaia pinguis arenis._
