_narrative_, _descriptive_, or _didactic sentences_.
EXAMPLE. I love my country's pine-clad hills, Her thousand bright and gushing rills, Her sunshine and her storms; Her rough and rugged rocks that rear Their hoary heads high in the air, In wild fantastic forms. 3. A LOUD TONE, or fullness and stress of voice, is used in expressing _violent passions_ and _vehement emotions_. EXAMPLES. 1. STAND! _the ground's your own_, my braves,-- Will ye give it up to _slaves_? Will ye look for _greener graves_? Hope ye mercy still? What's the mercy _despots_ feel? Hear it in that _battle-peal_,-- Read it on yon bristling steel, Ask it--_ye who will!_ PIERPONT. 2. "HOLD!" Tyranny cries; but their resolute breath Sends back the reply: "INDEPENDENCE or DEATH!" |
