ONWARD! through _blood_, and _toil_, and _cloud_, and _fire!_ _Glorious_--the SHOUT, the SHOCK, the CRASH of STEEL, The VOLLEY'S ROLL, the ROCKET'S BLAZING SPIRE! 4. Hear, O HEAVENS! and give ear, O EARTH! NOTE V.--Emphasis sometimes changes the seat of accent from its ordinary position. EXAMPLES. There is a difference between _pos'_sibility and _prob'_ability. And behold, the angels of God _as'_cending and _de'_scending on it. For this corruptible must put on _in'_corruption, and this mortal must put on _im'_mortality. Does his conduct deserve _ap'_probation or _rep'_robation? NOTE VI.--There are two kinds of Emphasis:--_Absolute_ and _Antithetic_. ABSOLUTE EMPHASIS is used to designate the important words of a sentence, without any direct reference to other words. EXAMPLES OF ABSOLUTE EMPHASIS. 1. Oh, speak to passion's raging tide, _Speak_ and _say_: "PEACE, BE STILL!" |
