TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: A few obvious misprints have been corrected, but in
general the originally erratic spelling, punctuation and typesetting
conventions have been retained. Accents in foreign language poetry and
phrases are inconsistent in the original, and have not been
standardized. In "English Hexameters" letter: [=x] is x with a macron,
[)x] is x with a breve. Readers interested in this article are strongly
encouraged to refer to the UTF8 or HTML versions.
