_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!"
