2. A _month!_ O, for a single WEEK! I as not for _years'_, though an
AGE were _too little_ for the _much_ I have to do.

3. _Now_ for the FIGHT! _now_ for the CANNON PEAL! 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!"
