"_Vitavisse vices Danaum._


3. Of the _Assonantia Syllabarum_ or _Rhyme_, there are in _Virgil_
the several following Sorts.

1. _The plain direct Rhyme_, which is of two Kinds, _Single_ or
_Double_.

2. _The intermediate_ or _casual plain Rhyme_.

3. _The scanning conclusive Rhyme_. So called, because it would hardly
be perceived by the Generality of Readers, unless they first scann'd
the Verse; but when they have done that in three or four Lines, the
Ear will afterwards make the necessary Distinction without any farther
trouble.

I will explain and give Examples of all these several sorts of _Rhyme_
in their Order.


1. To treat of the plain _Single_ direct _Rhyme_. The following Verses
are Examples of this sort of Rhyme: But to make them more like our
own, I will divide the Verse into two Parts.

"_Poculaque inventis
Acheloia miscuit uvis._

"_Totaque Thuriferis
Panchaia pinguis arenis._
