The poet asks 118 to go with him to the old woods while they have still then- serious face on : before the dawn has begun to break ; before the sleeping leaves have put ott their gauzy wrappers of mist ; before the birds have raise.] their neatls from their downy pillows ; before the little flower's cup is emp- tied of the dew ; ^ before the distant brook can yet be seen lightly touching the hill as it comes down ; It is at this early hour we feel the solemn influence of the woods ; then, while the nlothful are still in tfte midst of some uneasy dream, let ns begin the day. in the spirit of prayer, with a walk in the darkened woods. Again, the poet invites us to visit the woods when the wrinkled old trees no longer look dark and gloomy, but wear a joyous smile : for now the sun has risen ; Oh, come away to the grave old woods ^« *he Bides are tinged with light, Ere the slumbering leaves of the gloomy trees ^^i®,.^*"^ °ff **ie mists of Nlgnt ; Ere the birds are up, Or the floweret's cup Is drained of its fresh'ning dew.

I Break, break, break : This lyric, like the poems collected under the general Ititle in Afemonam, is an elegy on the death of Arthur Henry Hallam, son lof the historian, and the dearest of Tennyson's youthful friends. (The words [have been set to appropriate music by William R. Dempster.) In a dirge we I must not look for the same close and orderly succession of ideas as may I justly be asked in other forms of poetry. The poem must, within a certain I distance, be true to nature, and overwhelming grief often speaks in broken I ")*®''*'^°^s. In Tennyson's beautiful lyric we may conceive the succession of the poet s thoughts to have run somewhat thus '.—1st stanza. The break- ing sea IS telling to the cold, gray stones its ancient sorrow ; would that my swelling heart could assuage, even in broken words, the billows of its grief ! Znd stanza. But this silent, solitary brooding is not well. Yon fisher's boy loreets his hard lot in boisterous play ; yon sailor-lad sings away the shadow j of his fate. I will arouse me. Srd stanza. The march of yon stately ships I stirs my blood ; but, alas ! the thrill is already quenched by his absence who : used to share these walks with me. 4th stanza.

'. Spenserian stanza,— eight iambic pentameters rhyming at intervals, [fied with a rhyming hexameter or " Alexandrine. " The latter name was >hed to a 6- iambic line from the fact that early romances on Alexander Great were written in this metre. Drayton's Pohjolbion is written in jxandrines. The Spenserian stanza is used by Soenser {Faei-ie Queene), ittie {Mmstrel), and Byron (ChUde Harold).

The ode proper is distinguished by its irregular measures (cf. 3, II) ; cntical examinations of this foixa of poetry, see p. 172, 164. . C^suRAOB Metrical Pause. —Beside the pause which occurs at the |d of each hne of poetry,— and which indeed originally caused poetry to written in ' verses " rather than in continuous lines,— a metrical pause Caesura " also occurs once, or sometimes oftener, in the body of every rmonious verse. The Caesura may or may not coincide nith a punctuated ose ; but i;> the best poets it coincides with a natural pause in the sense. leEnglish Caesura differs from the Latin and the Greek m never dividing a )rd ; It unifonnly follows an emphatic word or syllable unless that syllable the first of a long word or be followed by short monosyllables. In Pope's |r8ification the constant recurrence of the caesura at or near the middle of e hnes, and generally after long syllables (see Pope, pp. 23, 347, 389) gives Jloying sweetness. Shakspeare, Milton, Wordsworth, and Keats afford a Bh variety in their caesuras. Take for example this famous passage from Merchant of Venice. Act IV. sc. 1 :— " The quality of Mercy | is not strain'd. It droppeth ( as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. | It is twice bless'd ; It blesseth him that gives, | and him that takes ; 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; I it becomes The throned monarch I oetter than his crown ; It is an attribute | to God himself."
