ñ1. SOUND AS AN ILLUSTRATIVE AGENCY. 6d A very good example, and one which, from the coincidence of the emphasis with the alliteration, recalls the ancient models, is this from Cowper's Garden: — He settles next upon the sloping mount, Whose sharp declivity shoots oft' secure From the dash'd pane the deluge as it falls. The Christian Year affords some very graceful examples: Ye whose hearts are beating high With the pulse of Poesy. That thine angels' harps may ne'er Fail to find fit echoing here. Palm Sunday. 628 a. The ancient practice of alliteration has had some permanent effects on the stock phraseology of the language. It is doubtless the old poetic sound that has formed and guaranteed against the ravages of time such conventional O o O couplings as these: — Cark and care. Fear nor favour. Kith and kin. Rhyme and reason. Safe and sound. Sick nor sorry. Stocks and stones. True as touch. Faery Queene, i. 3. 2. Watch and ward. 490. Weal and woe. Weald and wold. Longfellow, Olqf, xv. Wise and wary.

In Saxon times the legal phraseology was sometimes yoked together by alliteration, as in those famous formulae which outlived their significance, sac and soc, toll and team. More recently we see it in heraldic mottoes, as at Winchester in Manners makyth man; and at Mells in Time irieth troth. A little attention might discover more instances, shewing how dear to humanity is the very jingle of his speech, and how he loves, even in his riper age, to keep up a sort of phantom of that harmony which in his infancy blended sound and sense in one indistinguishable chime. 660 a. 629. The various kinds of by-play in poetry, such as alliteration, rhyme, and assonance, seem all to harmonise with the accentuation. While alliteration belongs naturally to a language which tends to throw its accent as far back as possible towards the beginning of the word, rhyme and assonance suit those which lean rather towards a terminal accentuation. Hence alliteration is the domestic artifice of the Gothic poetry, as rhyme and assonance are of the Romanesque. Rhyme has indeed won its way, not only in England, but in nearly all the other seats of Gothic dialects; still it is in the Romance literatures that we must observe it, if we would see it in the full swing which it enjoys only in its native element. 630. Let us conclude this section with an observation of a rhetorical kind in regard to the illustrative energies of sound. A rich and various modulation is the correlative of a richly variable collocation in matter of syntax. One illustration of this may be gathered from the fact that all languages use greater freedom of collocation in poetry than in prose; that is to say, in the more highly modulated literature

Anything like the following would be simply impossible in English prose: — Who meanes no guile be guiled soonest shall. The Faery Queene, iii. I. 54. Another manifest illustration of the same lies in the fact that it is in the most musical languages we meet with the extremest liberty of collocation. How strangely variable was the collocation of the classical languages is pretty well known to all of us, whose education consisted largely in 1 construing Greek and Latin/ that is to say, in bringing together from the most distant parts of the sentence the words that belonged to one another functionally. If we have in English less of such violent and apparently arbitrary displacements, it should be remembered that we also have less of musical animation to render justice withal to the signification of such displacements. And further, if the modern languages generally have less variation of arrangement than the ancient classics had, it is supposed that even the most musical of the modern languages are less musical than were the Greek and Latin. But in this sovereign quality of music, a language is not doomed to be stationary. There is a progress in this no less than in syntax. And as an argument that musical progress has been made in English, we have only to reflect how modern is the public sense of modulation, and the general demand that is made for ' good reading.' All things are double over against one another; and the demand for well-modulated reading is one indication that the power and range of modulation is progressing. And with this modulatory progress there is certainly a collocatory progress afoot. The proofs are not perhaps very conspicuous, but they are visible to those who look for them, demonstrating that a

The following quotation affords an example of the point and force that may be gained by displacement: — by us. The sphere of our belief is much more extensive than the sphere of our knowledge; and therefore, when I deny that the infinite can by us be known, I am far from denying that by us it is, must, and ought to be, believed. — Sir William Hamilton. In public speaking such a displacement would seem stilted, and it would have a bad effect unless it were borne out by an extraordinarily appropriate modulation. The illustrative utterance of the English language is worthy of attention in the interest of national culture; for if all who have something profitable to say were skilful modulators of their mother tongue, they would find more docility in the ranks of the popular audience, and better speed that moral improvement which lightens the cares and the expense of government. 'The famous Bishop of Cloyne' seems to have been fully convinced of this, when among his other queries, he put the following one: Q. Whether half the learning of these kingdoms be not lost, for want of having a proper delivery taught in our schools and colleges? 1 ' This query of Bishop Berkeley's seems to imply that the modulation which makes the beauty of Language ought always to accompany cultivated speech; — that such accompaniment renders it more agreeable and more persuasive, more effective also for the conveyance of meaning and the diffusion of knowledge; — that a melodious command of the mother tongue is the natural and proper finish of a high

2. Of Sound as a Formative Agency. 632. We now proceed to consider sound as a power which affects the forms of words. The attention must be directed to the accentuation and its consequences. 1. The simplest instance is where the accent has a conservative effect upon the accented syllable, while the unaccented syllable gradually shrinks or decays. Thus, in the word goodwife the accented syllable was preserved in its entirety, while the second syllable shrank up into such littleness as we are familiar with in the form of goody. This is a plain example of a transformation conditioned by the incidence of sound. In American literature the word grandsire has assumed the form of grandsir from the same cause \ The accented syllable remains complete, while the unaccented dwindles. The following quotation will be sufficient to establish the fact: — Viewing their townsman in this aspect, the people revoked the courteous doctorate with which they had hitherto decorated him, and now knew him most familiarly as Grandsir Dolliver. . . . All the younger portion

1 I have to thank Mr. Charles E. Stratton, of Boston, U. S., for a useful observation. He writes: ' The form grandsir is of common use only in the country districts and among the farming class (and only in New England, I think), and would never be used, except in quotation, by educated people.' That is to say, the natural form has suffered restoration in America just as it has with us in England. Already, so early as the fifteenth century, we find the form which is now discarded on both sides of the Atlantic. In that treasury of English, the Paston Letters, No. 225 (ed. Gairdner) it stands: 'she was maried to Sir Hug' Fastolf, graunsir to this same Thomas.'

The way in which the accent has wrought in determining the transformation of words from Latin into French, has been briefly and effectively shewn by M. Auguste Brachet, in his Historical Gra?nmar of the French Tongue. The unaccented parts have often lost their distinct syllabification, while the syllable accented in Latin has almost become the whole word in French. Thus —

Latin. French. angelus ange computum compte debitum dette porticus porche

 Mr. Kitchin's Translation, p. 33 seqq

A good example is afforded by the modern Greek negative. The negative in modern Greek is ovV, and this is an abbreviation from the classical ovhiv. A person who looked at ovdev might be inclined to say that the essential power of that negative is stored up in the first syllable, while the second is a mere expletive or appendage. From this point of view it would be inconceivable how the first part should perish and the second remain. But if we consider that the first is the elder part, and that the second was added for the sake of emphasis, it is plain that the second part would carry the accent, as indeed the traditional notation represents it. This effect of the accent must be particularly attended to, as presenting, perhaps, the best of all keys for explaining the transformations which take place in language. Were we to disregard the influence of the laws of sound, and imagine that the sense only was to be taken into consideration, we should often be at a loss to understand why the most sense-bearing syllables have decayed, while the less

It is composed of un and couth, the ancient participle of the verb cunnan, ' to know/ So that imcouth meant ' unknown/ 1 unheard-of,' and consequently ' strange/ In England the word has retained its original form, because the accent is on the second syllable; but in Scotland, the accent having been placed on the first, and the word having been mostly used in such a position as to intensify the accent by emphasis, the second syllable has coiled up into its present condition. 2. So far we have been considering the formative effect of accent in its simplest instances, — those namely where the accented syllable retains its integrity, while the unaccented seems to wither, as it were, by neglect. We now proceed to a somewhat more complicated phenomenon. The accent does not always prove so conservative in its operation. It is like wind to fire; a moderate current of air will keep the fire steadily burning, but if the air be applied in excess, it will depress the flame which it nourished before. So with the accent; if it be highly intensified it will not conserve, but rather work an alteration in the syllable to which it is applied. A familiar instance of the effect of an accent in altering the form of a syllable may be seen in the word woman. This word is compounded of wife and man, and the change which has taken place in the first syllable exhibits the altering effect of an intense accent 1 . The same thing may be observed in the word gospel. The word is composed of good and spel; but the first 1 This is not the whole account of woman, because it does not explain the o; perhaps the plural would have made a better example for this place in its pronounced form wimmen.

OF PROSODY. syllable has been reduced to its present proportion by ' correption,' if we may revive the very happy Latin term by which a shortened syllable was said to be seized or snatched. Other familiar instances are gossip God sib, shepherd, and the pronunciation of vineyard. In all these we see the accented syllable has suffered alteration through its accentuation. When we seek the cause why accent should have operated in manners so opposite, we shall probably find that the diversity of result is due to a difference of situation in the usual employment of the composite. A word, for instance, whose lot it was to be often emphasized would naturally be the more liable to correption of its accented syllable. 3. As we have seen that each of the syllables of a disyllabic word may be in different manners affected by the accent, so we may next observe that both of these changes may sometimes be found in one and the same word. The word housewife is often pronounced huz'if and this pronunciation is the traditional one. The full pronunciation of all the letters in housewife is not produced by the natural action of the mother tongue, but by literary education. Regarding huz'if then, as the natural and spontaneous utterance of housewife, we see that both syllables have suffered alteration. The attenuated condition of the second syllable is accounted for by the absence of the accent; while the first syllable has suffered from an opposite cause, namely, the intensification produced by the accent. And when, through the beat of metre, the accent becomes emphasis, we find the first syllable spelt with correption, even in literature: — The sampler, and to teize the huswives wooll. John Milton, Cotmis, 751 (ed. Tonson, 1725).

ñ2. SOUND AS A FORMATIVE AGENCY. 6og The name of Shakspeare, it is well known, appears with many variations of orthography. The most curious perhaps of all its forms is that of Shaxper \ which exhibits both sides of the double action now described. In Shaxper we see that each of the two syllables is shrunken, but from opposite causes. The first syllable is compressed by the intensifying power of the accent, while the second syllable is impaired by reason of the languor of a toneless position. 633. These changes, which thus result from accentuation, sometimes run into curious phonetic distortions. Standish is the name of a place in Gloucestershire, but it is better known as a man's name in the poetry of Longfellow. The word is an altered form of Stonehouse, or rather of Stanhus, which was its ancient shape. Here the accented syllable has drawn a d on to it, and the languid syllable an h. The former is but an instance of a well-known phonetic affinity which in various languages has so often produced the combination nd. But that the hus should have lapsed into ish is something more particularly English, and belongs to the same class of tendencies by which that sound has often risen among us both out of Saxon and out of French materials. 74. A great number of transformations which are a stock item of astonishment with us, are only to be accounted for by the consideration of accentual conditions. Such are Ciceter for Cirencester, Yenton for Erdington, Ransom for Rampisham (Dorset), Posset for Portishead: — and so the ancient Clatfordtun is now Claverton; Cunacaleah is Conkwell. The scene of the following question is laid in the time of Queen Anne: —

III. ch. iii. 634. The common formula Good bye has come out of ' God be with ye/ This had been caused by the strong emphasis on the first word. From a like cause springs that excess of clustering words together in pronunciation which may be observed in English country places. I often find it hard to understand the name of a rustic child, because the child utters Christian and surname together as one word. One little girl I well remember how she puzzled me by repeatedly telling me she was called ' Anook.' I had to make further enquiries before I learnt that this represented Ann Hook. Here the accent was on the surname, and so I apprehend it was in the instance following: — However, Miss Max had adopted Jameskennet (she always said the name as one word), and he had been a great comfort to them all. — L. Knatchbull-Hugessen, The Affirmative (Macmillan's Magazine, May, 1870). The word hobgoblin owes its form to this habit. It means the goblin called Rob or Hob, as the household elf was called Robin Goodfellow. It is to smartness of accent that we must attribute that source of flexion, which has developed out of Composition. 605. Such flexion is the result of the adhesion of lowtoned words to those which are higher toned, to words rendered eminent and attractive by a superiority of accent. Thus, if the word ibo resolves itself into three words answering to the three letters of which the word is now composed, and if these three words stood once free of each other in this order — go will i, it was because of the accentual preeminence of go that the other two words first of all began

And as the action of sound is a matter of great consequence in the shaping of words, so also we may detect a like power working to effect transpositions in phraseology. Why do people often say ' bred and born ' instead of ' born and bred/ except that they like the sound of it better? There is in most newspapers a quarter which is thus headed: — Births, Marriages, and Deaths. But in conversation it is hardly ever quoted in this form. The established colloquial form of the phrase is this: — Births, Deaths and Marriages. Now it is plain that the latter does violence to the natural order which the printed formula observes. Whence then has this inconsequence arisen? Solely, as it seems, from the fact that the less reasonable order offers the more agreeable cadence to the ear. Enough has been said to shew that the shaping of words and phrases is not always to be accounted for upon grounds of reason, but often by reference to the formative agency of Sound.

3. Of Sound as an Instinctive Object of Attraction. 636. Our path leads us more and more away from the conscious action of man in the development of speech, to mark how the sentient and instinctive tendencies of his nature claim their part in the great result. There is observable a certain drawing towards a fitness of sound; that is to say, the speaker of every stage and grade strives after such an expression as shall erect his language into a sort of music to his own ear. And this is reached when harmony is r r 2

It is a first necessity in language, that it should gratify the ear of the speaker. 637. As the savage and the civilised man have different standards of music, so have they different standards of what is harmonious in their speech. Civilised nations are converging towards an agreement on both these heads; but they will sooner be at one on the matter of music than they will on the modulation of speech. Of these two, music is the simpler, and the more amenable to scientific treatment. In the very elements of the melody of language, namely the tones which are proper to the several vowels, there is an hereditary difference which, though of the most delicate and subtle kind, yet produces by combination wide divergencies in the modulation of speech. Each separate nation has a musical pitch of its own. A slight variety of pronunciation modifies the musical note of a vowel in such a manner that the science of acoustics can measure the interval; and Helmholtz has suggested that philologers should make use of these musical notes to define the vocalic condition of languages and dialects. 638. In consonants the great difference of national standards is manifest. The Gothic ear enjoys a precipitous consonantism, while the Roman family prefers a smooth and gentle one. And as a natural consequence of this difference, we, when we were most Gothic, could endure an abruptness of consonants which now that we have been Frenchified in our tastes, is displeasing to our national ear. Thus, we now count it vulgar to say ax, and yet this sound was quite acceptable to the most cultivated Saxon. We have transposed the consonants, and instead of As we say sk; instead of ax we say ask; and we prefer tusks to

There is observable at different eras in the language of a nation a certain revolution of taste in regard to sounds; and this exhibits itself in modifications of the vowel-system, and in conversions or transpositions of old-established consonantisms. It is not possible (apparently) to reduce such cases to any other principle than this, — that it has pleased the national ear it should be so. 639. This national taste is inherited so early, and rooted so deep in the individual, that it becomes part of his nature, and forms the starting-point of all his judgments as to what is fitting or unfitting in the harmony of sound with sense. The association between his words and his thoughts is so intimate, that to his ear the words seem to give out a sound like the thing signified; and that too even where it is an abstract idea or some other creation of the mind. So that it becomes a difficult matter to say how far certain words are really like certain natural sounds; or whether it is only an inveterate mental association that makes us think so. That is a difficulty which lies at the root of the onomatopoetic theory of the origin of language. That theory appeals to a sense which we have of likeness between many of our words and the natural sounds of the things signified. Authors have given lists of words which, in their opinion, had an onomatopoetic origin. That is to say, they were coined at a blow in imitation of audible sounds, or they can at least be traced back to such a coinage. But such words are often resoluble into earlier forms, which had meanings widely distinct from the present meanings; and the onoma 1 Reversely, however, we say bird, third, cart, in preference to the old forms brid, tkridde, creel.

An onomatopoetic writer, says, — From pr, or prut, indicating contempt or self-conceit, comes proud, pride, &c. From fie, we have fiend, foe, feud, foul, Latin putris, Fr. puer, filth, fulsome, fear. From smacking the lips we get yXvKvs, dulcis, lick, like. We shall all as Englishmen be ready to acknowledge that proud and pride do sound like the things signified. But how are we to reconcile the supposed onomatopoetic origin of these words with the fact that they have an earlier history 1 , which leads us far enough out of the track of the idea here assigned to pr. 640. It is not too much to say that all the above examples rest upon the ground of a superficial appearance, and that their onomatopoetic origin will not bear inspection. The word like is here derived from the sound of smacking the lips. It is in fact the Old Saxon word for ' body ' Lie, which' in German is to this day Setcfy pronounced almost exactly as our like. Great as the distance may seem between body and the liking of taste, it is measured at two strides. There is but one middle term between these wide extremes. From substance to similitude the transition is frequent and familiar; and so Lie ' body ' easily produced the adjective like. That likeness breeds liking is proverbial. One of the words which has been thought to favour the onomatopoetic theory is squirrel.

But when we perceive that it has a long Greek antecedent, and that the idea upon which the word was moulded was that of umbrella-tail, we can only marvel at the sonorous fitness of the word to express the manners of the funny little creature, after all traces of the signification of the word had been forgotten; and we must allow that somewhere in the speech-making genius there lives a faculty which concerns itself to seek the means of harmony between sound and sense. 641. It would indeed be too much to say that the basis of this harmony is not in any absolute relations between things and ideas on the one hand, and sounds on the other. But this may be said, — that while such absolute relations have been often maintained with a certain show of reason, there has not as yet been any proof such as science can take cognisance of. It seems rather as if each race had its own fundamental notions of harmony, and as if the consonance of words were continually striving to adapt itself to these with a sort of unconscious accommodation. Well as squirrel seems to us to harmonise with its object, we cannot doubt that in the judgment of a Red Indian it would sound very inappropriate, and that he would consider Adjidaumo as much more to the point.

On the fifth bell in Dunkerton Church, Somersetshire, besides the record, 'Thomas Bilbee cast all wee, 1732/ are found the lines: — Harke how the chiriping Treable sound so clear, While rowelling Tom com tombeling in the reare. This is manifestly imitative; the sequence ' torn com tombeling ' has plainly a sonorous motive which makes it worthy to be set beside the Indian tom-tom. Yet the imitation has nothing to say to the origin of the words, whereof the first is Semitic, the second Gothic, and the third Romanesque. 642. Our present interest in the onomatopoetic theory is rather incidental \ It bears by its very existence a valuable testimony to that principle which we are just now concerned to establish. There are men of cultivated faculties who perceive throughout language such a harmony of the sound of words with their sense, that they not only would rest satisfied with an account of the origin of language which referred all to external sound, but that it appears to them the most rational explanation. Those who reject the theory itself need not discredit the phenomenon on which it relies. They may admit that there is, running through a great part of human speech, a remarkable chime of sound with sense, and yet doubt whether language was founded upon imitation. The phenomenon itself may have been as primitive as it is persistent, for the strongest examples are among the latest 1 If the reader desires to enquire further into the onomatopoetic theory, he will find all that can be said in its favour in the philological writings of Mr. Hensleigh Wedgwood; and there is a criticism of onomatopoeia byProfessor M.ix Miiller in the Ninth Lecture of his First Series.

That the motion of poetry should keep pace with the thought is an axiom: if the subject is toilsome, then The line too labours, and the verse runs slow. And as with the whole, so with the subordinate members. At every stage in the development of every word, there are a certain number of possible variations, or alternative modes of utterance; and before a word settles down into an established position, it must have been (unconsciously) recognised as the best for that particular purpose of all those that were in the field of choice; and among the qualifications and conditions of the competition, the satisfaction of the ear has never been absent, though it may have been little noticed. When we speak of the satisfaction of the ear, we of course mean a mental gratification; namely, that which arises from a sense of harmony between voice and meaning. There is a pleasure in this, and as there is a pleasure in it, so there is naturally a preference for it, and, other things being equal, the utterance which gives this pleasure will survive one that gives it not. 643. Taking it then as certain, that there is in speech a striving after this expressiveness of sound, we must next observe the varying ways it has of displaying itself in the successive stages of the development of human speech. It does not always occupy the same ground. The E?iglish language has passed that stage in which words are palpably modified to meet the requiremeiits of the ear. And accordingly, those who make lists of words in support of the onomatopoetic theory, will be found to lean greatly to old-fashioned and homely and colloquial words, in short to such words as figure but

And we may in some ancient literatures find this so-called onomatopoeia in greater vigour than in English. Most abounding in examples of this kind is the Hebrew language, where we have a glorious literature that was formed under the conditions now spoken of; that is to say, while the language was still sensitive to the grouping of consonants in the chime of its words. An illustration or two may serve. It is no mere illusion which causes even a slightly imbued Hebrew scholar to feel that in the kindly, soothing, ' nocturne ' sound of la'ilah, the Hebrew word for night, there is a suggestion of that thought which some have supposed to be etymologically expressed by the Greek evfypov-q, the thought which is thus rendered in familiar lines from the Hebrew fountain: — And from the due returns of night Divine instruction springs. 644. The Hebrew word for ' righteousness,' zeddkah, has a melody which chimes admirably with the idea. Whatever beauty of thought is embodied in the Themis and Dike and Astraea of the Greek personifications, may all be heard in the sound of the Hebrew zeddkah. Nor is this mere fancy. That the word spoke not to the mind alone through the ear as a mere channel, but that the sound of the word had a musical eloquence for the mental ear of the Hebrew, we have such evidence as the case admits of. We find it set against the cry of the oppressed zeghdkah, where the dental has been exchanged for the most rigid of gutturals, represented here by gh. In fact, there is a stage in language when the musical appropriateness of the word is the chief

In the passage alluded to, not only is there the contrast already described, but also that of mzshpat, 1 judgment/ with mishpach, ' oppression/ and here also the gentle sound of the dental is changed to the grating sound of a guttural, though milder than in the other instance. He looked for judgment (mishpat), but behold oppression (mishpach); for righteousness (zedakah), but behold a cry {zeghakah). — Isaiah v. 7. 645. This class of cases has been sometimes inconsiderately treated as if they approached in some sort to the nature of the paronomasia or pun. But no two things could be more distinct. The pun rests on a duplicity of sense under unity of sound, and it is essentially of a laughter-provoking nature, because it is a wanton rebellion against the first motive of speech, whereby diversity of sense induces diversity of sound, that the sound may be an echo to the sense. A few years ago, in the time of spring, two men were riding together across the fields, and observing how backward the season was. Neither of them had seen the may-blossom yet. Presently one dashed ahead towards something white in a distant hedge, but soon turned round again, exclaiming to his companion: ' No, it is not the may, it is only the common sloe/ whereupon the ready answer came: ' Then the may is uncommon slow! ' That is a pun, where the unity of sound between widely different words is suddenly and surprisingly fitted into the sense of the conversation. Different, but akin, is the Double-meaning, where the two senses of an identical word are played upon. Mr. Wadge, in his speech of thanks on the occasion of a presentation banquet in his honour, at the Albion, June 1, 1866, was dilating on the interest he had taken from earliest youth in the study of mineral deposits; how he found matter even in

This being delivered with some intenseness, was pleasantly relieved by the ensuing remark, that only in one thing did the speaker differ from the poet. Lucretius deplored that whereas in the good old time, brass was highly valued and gold disregarded, now that was changed, — gold had dethroned brass, and the harder metal was of no account by the side of the softer. I have nothing to say against gold, which certainly now, as when the poet wrote, is in summum honorem; but I must say something for brass. (^Laughter.) Whatever may have been the case when Lucretius wrote, it cannot now be truly said nunc jacet aes; for in my experience brass is, next to gold, the greatest power that influences the world. (Great cheers and laughter.) Such are the double-meaning and the pun. But these things are very wide of the feature now under consideration. These are laughable from their eccentricity. They are funny because they traverse the first law of language in a playful manner. As an expression of wit they are perfectly legitimate only so long as the rhetoric of the language turns on word-sound. Hence we may observe that the mind of the scholar, that is to say, the mind which is imbued with the elder conditions of language, is ever prone to punning. In English these forms of wit are now but half-recognised, because the language has passed beyond that stage of which they were a wanton inversion. 646. In contradistinction to all this, the Hebrew antitheses arise out of the legitimate exercise of the rhetorical properties of the language; and their very consonance with the present condition of the language is an element of their solemnity. In every successive stage of language there is a music proper to that stage; and if we seek the focus of that music,

When we see that the poetry and the oratory of a language avails itself largely of the contrast of word-sounds, we cannot doubt that the national ear is most alive to that particular form of speech-music which gives prominence to individual words. This is the case of the Hebrew parallelisms; and it is the key also to alliteration in poetry, where the echo of word to word is the sonorous organ of the poet. But a period comes in the course of the higher development of language, when the sonorousness of words gives place to the sentiment of modulation, whereby a musical unity is given to the sentence like the unity of thought. It is to this that the foremost languages of the world, and the English language for one, have now attained. If we look at Saxon Literature, we see two widely different eras of language living on side by side, the elder form in the poetry, and the later one in the prose. The alliterative poetry belongs to an age in which the word-sound was the prominent feature; the prose is already far gone into that stage in which the sound of the word has fallen back and become secondary to the rhythm of the sentence. The development of rhythm had already become so full and ample by the time of the Conquest, that the restraint of metre was needful, and it was readily accepted at the hands of our French instructors. Rhyme also was adopted, not absolutely for the first time, as rare examples occur before; but the general use of rhyme came in with metre under French influence. 647. Rhyme is an attendant upon metre; its office is to mark the ' verse ' or turn of the metre, where it begins again. Rhyme is an insignificant thing in itself, as compared with alliteration: for whereas this is, as we have before shown, an accentual reverberation, and rests upon the most

Not only is it one among many evidences of a fondness in man for a sonorous accompaniment to his language, but inasmuch as the turn of the verse is necessarily at a rhythmical division, rhyme is wedded to rhythm, and is rescued from being a mere external appendage productive only of a sensual effect. The general acceptance of Rhyme testifies to modern progress of Rhythm. Rhyme has developed its luxuriance in its native regions, that is to say in the Romanesque dialects. The rhyming faculty was not born with our speech, and it is still but imperfectly naturalised among us. The English language is found to be poor in rhymes when it is put to the proof, as in the essay of translating Dante in his own terza rima. Chaucer pointed to the difficulties of rhyming in English, and said he could not keep pace with the French rhymes: — Hit is a grete penaunce, Syth ryme in Englissh hath such skarsete, To folowe worde by worde the curiostie Of Graunson, floure of them that make in Fraunce. The Compleynt of Mars and Venus. The German language has taken more kindly to this Romanesque ornament than English has. This is largely due to their conservation of Flexion. Rhyme is naturally easy in an inflected language. We may almost say that Flexion invites to Rhyme: and in our earliest examples of Rhyme, namely the mediaeval Latin hymns, the music of rhyme sometimes fails to please just because the rhyming seems too cheap. 648.

Metre is to rhythm what logic is to rhetoric; what the bone frame of an animal is to its living form and movements. As the bony structure of a beautiful animal is amply enveloped; as the logic of a good discourse is there, but undisplayed, — so the metre of good poetry is lost to the view, while the ear is entirely occupied with its rhythm. And as men use rhetoric before logic, so, likewise, did they use rhythm before metre. Metre may be artificially transplanted from one nation to another, as the French metre was transplanted to our language. But rhythm is more deeply rooted in the race and nation, and the individual writer can only within a limited range play variations upon the natural rhythm of his mother tongue. Up to a certain point we give a poet the credit of his rhythm, as we do to Milton; but the elemental stuff out of which it is made is rather an inheritance than a personal product. Every man inherits a certain national intonation. This is that which is most ineradicable of all things which go to constitute language. This is that which we call the brogue of the Irishman, the accent of the Scotchman, or of the Welshman. By great care and early training it may be disciplined out of an individual, but we have no experience of its wearing out of a population. The people of Devon, who hardly retain two Welsh words in their speech, have an intonation so peculiar, that it can only be interpreted as a relic of the otherwise extinct West- Welsh language. Any one, with an ear for the melody of language, and with a heart accessible to romantic feelings, must be drawn towards the Irish people, if it were only for the singular and mysterious air which constitutes the melody of their speech. True, they speak Saxon now instead of Erse, but the rhythm is unshaken. It runs up into, and is indistinguishable from,

The distinctiveness of all that which we call brogue, accent, &c, is ultimately resoluble into a speciality of modulation or rhythm. Here is the stronghold of Nature and the seat of national and provincial peculiarity. The departure of the English language from the music of the Saxon, is the greatest of all evidences how profound a change was accomplished by the great French interval of the Transition. Had the new language started with a provincial basis, instead of springing up as it did in the Court, the result might have been different. As it was, we got a new music, based on a new key-note, and one quite distinct from any of its constituent elements. But while we acknowledge in rhythm something profounder than metre, we must not deny to the latter a certain magisterial and regulative function, which it obtains by its position and office. As the man of formulas often directs, and sometimes practically determines the action of his superior, so metre exercises a sort of judicature even over rhythm. Metre acts as a stifFener to the rhythm. It has on the one hand a repressive, and on the other a sustaining agency. It helps to sustain elevation, while it controls the natural swell of enthusiastic rhythm. This constraint exercised by metre over the rhythmical movement is least felt in blank verse, because terminal rhymes are like so many studs or clasps, pinning down the metre from point to point, and adding greatly to its stringency. 650. The relation of verse to syntax is undetermined. The line may end with a grammatical pause, or it may end in the middle of a phrase where the most lavish punctuationist

But it must never mar the rhythm: the turn of a verse must coincide with a rhythmical subdivision, and these are finer and more frequent than grammatical subdivisions. So thy dark arches, London Bridge, bestride Indignant Thames, and part his angry tide. The poetry of the Anti-Jacobin is a good repertory for varieties of verse-making, because it contains lawless as well as lawful examples. In the above couplet the reader will perceive that though there is not a grammatical division between the lines, there is a rhymthical one, and that there is a real gain to the effect by the voice being made to rest a perceptible time on bestride: the modulation so obtained is a help to the picture on the imagination. One of the commonest means for producing the effect of drollery in verse, is by offending against this rule, and breaking the verse in spite of rhythm. Weary Knife-grinder! little think the proud ones, Who in their coaches roll along the turnpikeroad, what hard work 'tis crying all day ' Knives and Scissors to grind O I' In the old alliterative poetry, the turn of the verse was decided solely by the vaguer sentiment of rhythm, but in modern times it hinges on the more exact conditions of metre and rhyme. 651. Of all the forms which the Romanesque metres have assumed in the English language the blank verse is that which we have most completely nationalised and made our own; and the probable explanation of this is, besides the scarcity of rhymes in our language, that Rhyme is too confining for our native rhythm, when it would put forth its full strength. On the other hand, Metre, though it restrains, does unquestionably help to sustain the elevation, by s s

I woul'd ask the reader to consider the following lines, lending his ear especially to the verse-endings which close without punctuation: — A gracious spirit o'er this earth presides, And o'er the heart of man: invisibly It comes, to works of unreproved delight, And tendency benign, directing those Who care not, know not, think not what they do. The tales that charm away the wakeful night In Araby, romances; legends penned For solace by dim light of monkish lamps; Fictions, for ladies of their love, devised By youthful squires; adventures endless, spun By the dismantled warrior in old age, Out of the bowels of those very schemes In which his youth did first extravagate; These spread like day, and something in the shape Of these will live till man shall be no more. Dumb yearnings, hidden appetites, are ours, And they must have their food. Our childhood sits, Our simple childhood, sits upon a throne That hath more power than all the elements. William Wordsworth, The Prelude, Bk. V. 652. Subject to the established conditions of versification, each poet plays upon the rhythm of his native tongue, and strives to produce a sound in harmony with his thought. This is plainly perceived in the following lines from the opening of Dryden's JEneid: — From hence the line of Alban fathers come, And the long glories of majestic Rome. In Milton's description of the cock, the rhythm is imitative: While the Cock with lively din Scatters the rear of darkness thin; And to the stack, or the Barn-dore Stoutly struts his Dames before, — V Allegro.

The following lines, from an unknown poet, who signs G. M., display this harmony of the rhythm with the description: — On that opposing hill, as on the stage Of rural theatre, or Virgil's page, I watch the shifting scenes of country life. — Man's patient labour and his world-old strife. First, the stout team drags on the biting plough; Thro' the hard clods it cuts and pierces slow; The careful yeoman guides the furrow 'd way, The rook succeeds, and lives another day. Then come the sowers, who with careless skill Scatter the grain and every fissure fill; Then the light harrow the smooth soil restores, And soon the field feels life in all her pores. Next some bright morning, as I mark the scene, My fancy soothes me with a shade of green, Which after every shower more vivid grows, Till em'rald brightly o'er the surface glows, Then yellow clothes the scene, and soon, too soon, Red ears bow heavy to the harvest moon. 653. In making a poetical translation, the first thing is to get hold of a melody. The metre, and even in some measure the grammar, must be secondary; else there can be no rhythm, and therefore no unity. Your verses may parse, and they may scan, and be but doggerel after all. The master-principle, then, is rhythm. In the following lines from Mr. Griffith's translation of the Rdmaydna, we have not only words and phrases and metre, but we have also a rhythm, which gives the whole a unity and an individuality, making it ' like something '; and we, who do not read Sanskrit, can enquire whether that is a faithful rendering of the effect of the original: — Balmy cool the air was breathing, welcome clouds were floating by, Humming bees with joyful music swelled the glad wild peacock's cry.

But no English reader with a cultivated ear would be likely to ask whether the following bore any resemblance to Horace; simply because, through lack of rhythm, it is shapeless, and it leaves on the mind no impression of having any likeness or similitude of its own: — Methinks Dame Nature to discriminate What's just from what's unjust entirely fails; Though doubtless fairly she can separate What 's good from what is bad, and aye prevails What to avoid, what to desire, to state; And Reason cannot prove that in the scales The man who broke another's cabbage-leaf Should weigh as guilty as the sacrilegious thief. 654. It would lead us too far if we attempted to exemplifyin detail the conclusion at which these latter pages are pointed. It is this: — Our language has passed on beyond the stage at which the chime of words is a care to the national ear, and it has adopted instead thereof the pleasure of a musical rhythm, which pervades the sentence and binds it into one. Ewald has happily described the perception of rhythm as (Sinn furg ©cmge — a feeling or sentiment for the Whole. When the English language is now used so as to display a sonorous aptness in the words, we call it Word-painting. Modern languages have a continuity of development and a flexibility of action, and growing out of these a power of following the movements of the mind, such as was never attained by the classical languages. If we take Demosthenes and Cicero as the maturest products of the Greek and Latin languages, we feel that they do not attain to the range of the best modern writers, or even to that of the fine passages in the prose writings of Milton. Great elasticity, great plasticity, has been added to language by the development of symbolism; great acquisitions have been made both in the compass and in the rhythm of language. This of course displays itself chiefly in the higher oratorical efforts.

In our day we have heard much praise of short sentences; and that praise for the most part has been well bestowed. The vast majority of writers are engaged in the diffusion of knowledge, in popularising history or science; or else they write with the avowed purpose of entertaining. Wherever the object is to make knowledge easy, or to make reading easy, the short sentence is to be commended. But when the mind of an original thinker burns with the conception of new thoughts, or the mind of the orator is aflame with the enthusiasm of new combinations and newly perceived conclusions, it is natural for them to overflow in long and elaborately subordinated sentences, which tax the powers of the hearer or reader to keep up with them. These are among the greatest efforts of mind, and their best expression naturally constitutes the grandest exhibition of the power of human speech; and this power has received great accessions by the modern development of Symbolism and its companion Rhythm. 655. Short sentences are prevalent in our language, as long ones are in the German. In all things we incline to curtness and stuntness. Not that this gives the full account of the matter. German literature has been far more engaged in the acquisition, while English literature has been employed more in the diffusion, of knowledge. This is probably the chief cause of our short and easy sentences. But we can use the cumulate construction when needed, and there are places in which force would be lost by dividing it into two or three successive and seriatim sentences. The following affords a fair example of a cumulative subject. It is all ' subject ' down to the words printed in capitals.

My publisher tells me that there are already 3000 of them distributed every day; so that if I allow twenty readers to every paper, which I look upon as a modest computation, I may reckon about three score thousand disciples in London and Westminster, who I hope will take care to distinguish themselves from the thoughtless herd of their ignorant and inattentive brethren. Since I have raised to myself so great an audience I shall spare no pains to make their instruction agreeable and their diversion useful. For which reasons I shall endeavour to enliven morality with wit, and to temper wit with morality, that my readers may, if possible, both ways find their account in the speculation of the day. And to the end that their virtue and discretion may not be short, transient, intermittent starts of thought, I have resolved to refresh their memories from day to day, till I have recovered them out of their desperate state of vice and folly into which the age is fallen. The mind that lies fallow for a single day sprouts up in follies that are only to be killed by a constant and assiduous culture. It was said of Socrates that he brought philosophy down from heaven to inhabit among men: and I shall be ambitious to have it said of me, that I have brought philosophy out of closets and libraries, schools and colleges, to dwell in clubs and assemblies, at tea tables and in coffee houses.

It is only under the glow of passion that the highest capabilities of a language are displayed.

I past beside the reverend walls In which of old I wore the gown; I roved at random through the town, And saw the tumult of the halls; And heard once more in college fanes The storm their high-built organs make, And thunder-music, rolling, shake The prophets blazon'd on the panes; And caught once more the distant shout, The measured pulse of racing oars Among the willows; paced the shores And many a bridge, and all about The same gray fiats again, and felt The same, but not the same; and last Up that long walk of limes I past To see the rooms in which he dwelt. If we ask, What is this sustaining power, which bears along more than a hundred words in one movement, with all the unity of an individual organism? the answer is, that it is Rhythm. 658. If we want to see lengthiness of language carried out to an extreme and exaggerated development, unsupported moreover and unbalanced by rhythm, we have only to read a legal document, such as a marriage settlement, or a release of trust. Often whole lines are mere strings of words, till the reader's head swims with the fluctuations of the unstable element, and, like a man at sea, or in a balloon, he longs to plant his feet on terra firma.

We cannot define Rhythm, we can only say what it does. It combines and braces language into a whole; it gives compactness, unity, beauty. It does more; it gives a harmony of speech with things or thoughts. As feeling is kindled, Language, spoken or written, is apt to chime in with the character of the things described. Observe the closing words of this quotation, which is taken from a report of the Thanksgiving Day: — As from time to time during the service the assemblage stood up — the movement travelling over the level of the dome area and rising as in waves round the great piers — one gained some idea of the vast numbers. But it was when they sat down that they most impressed one; for then, indeed, they had all the multitudinous aspect of a subsiding sea. — The Times, Feb. 28. 1872. We have now gone to the limits and beyond the limits of analysis. If Rhythm is irreducible, much more is eloquence, or whatever we shall call that which is the life of literature. Literature in its happiest moods has united more of the properties of the everlasting harmonies than any other product of the human mind. Beyond all analysis of language, beyond all historic and philologic interest, there is something in eloquence for which we have no definite name, but which, when it is present in literature, imparts to writings a perennial durability ensuring their preservation and making men call them immortal. Or wherein again resides the force of human eloquence in things human? Wherein lies that wondrous power, which not only convinces the understanding, not only creates a passing emotion, or dazzles the imagination.

Man's free agency will look on unmoved. Still less is it rich imagery, or power of thought, or loftiness of conception, or beauty of diction, or measured rhythm, or any skill which human art can analyse. These things have their delight, but ihey will not move. The ear drinks in the cadence: the imagination admires: but the soul looks on unwarmed, unreached, as at the cold unpiercing brilliancy of the summer lightning. Only when the soul goes out of itself and speaks to the soul, can man sway the will of man. Eloquence then is all soul, embodied, it may be, in burning forceful words, but with a power above the power of words, an electric force which pierces the soul addressed, transfuses into it another's thoughts, makes it its own, by giving forth out of itself. Analyse eloquence! Analyse the whirlwind or the lightning! Yes! these you may analyse, for they are material: eloquence you can no more analyse than the soul itself, whose voice it is in the simplicity of its immateriality. — E. B. Pusey, University Sermons, 1859-1872; Sermon I.

Conclusion — Concerning the Origin of Language. 660. There is an opinion that the origin of language may be traced, that we may form a science of what has been called Generative Philology, and that important data for such a science might be drawn from the inceptive stages' of speech. The first dawn of intelligence, the first smile of the infant on the mother, is in response to the tones of her maternal encouragements: — « Incipe parve puer risu cognoscere matrem. Vergil, Eclogue iv. 60. Smile then, dear child, and make thy mother glad. Translation by H. D. Skrine, 1868. Before speech is attained by the infant, he gets a set of notes or tones to express pleasure or offence, assent or refusal. The first attempts to speak are mere chirruppings and warblings; that is to say, it is the music of what is said that is caught at first, while the child has as yet no ears for

ñ3. SOUND AS AN OBJECT OF ATTRACTION. 6$$ he harder sense. By a beautiful and true touch of nature, and all the more noticeable because it is not a commonplace of poetry, a poet of our own day has coupled the early speech of children with the singing of birds: — I love the song of birds, And the children's early words. Charles Mackay, A Plain Man's Philosophy. John Keble has justified the teaching of divine truths to' children, on the ground that, if the sense is beyond them, there is a certain musical path of communication: — Oh! say not, dream not, heavenly notes To childish ears are vain, That the young mind at random floats, And cannot reach the strain: Dim or unheard the words may fall, And yet the heaven-taught mind May learn the sacred air, and all The harmony unwind. So Mr. Edward Denison, speaking of his East-end lectures to the dockyard labourers: — I indulge them largely with quotations from Wordsworth, Tennyson, and even Pope, much of which it is of course impossible they can understand, but which they delight to hear. I suppose the rhythm and cadence tickles their ear, and somehow helps to lift their fancy to a higher level. — Letters, &c. (Bentley and Son). 1872. 660 a. The general effect of such observations is towards this: — That the sentient and emotional parts of human nature have a greater share in the origins of language than the intellectual faculty. The first awakener of language is Love. And the first developer is Sound. This seems to be testified by the whole body of nursery-rhyme literature. Nor do we entirely lose in manhood the power of enjoying a fine sonorous composition apart from its sense. The nurseryrhyme passion has its mature forms. 628.

ñ6 $6 XII. OF PROSODY. But what do you think of Coleridge? To me, when I cannot follow him, there is always a fine ring, like bell-chimes, in his melody; not unlike our best nursery rhymes, for it is curious the fine cadences we get in the nursery. I like Coleridge's Kubla Khan for its exquisite cadence. That whole passage beginning — ' In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea ' — has a most fascinating melody. I don't know what it means, but it 's very fine. — John Duncan, Colloquia Peripatetica, p. 53. I knew a little orator, who, at the age of five years, would make speeches of irresistible force, though he was more than usually backward in grammatical sequence. It being one morning said in his presence that he had been found half out of bed, and the cause surmised that his brother had elbowed him out, he exclaimed, ' Yes, he elbowed me harder and harder — could be! 1 In modulation this was a perfect utterance: the voice had risen very gradually and plaintively so far as ' harder and harder ' — then a pause, as he was feeling after a climax — and then broke out in an octave higher the decisive words ' could be V It was the same boy who once said it was not his bed time ' this 'reckly,' a compromise between ' this minute ' and ' directly/ but which, in the way it was delivered, very far surpassed either of these forms of expression. 660 b. The fact is that children have a greater appreciation of sound than of sense, and that accordingly their early words are in good melody and bad grammar. Their judgment of the fitness of words for the office they fill, will often be very distinctly pronounced. And this judgment rests, as indeed it can rest, on nothing else than the chime of the sound with their notion of the thing indicated. The judgment of children is often found so firm and distinct on this matter, that we must conclude a great part of the early exercise of

A little watching might supply many illustrations on this head; what is here produced is not the result of any careful selection, but just what offered itself about the time this chapter was in preparation. A father who took an interest in some pigeons that were kept for the amusement of his children, had the whim to call them all by some fanciful name; and as they multiplied it became harder to invent acceptable names. So it happened that, after many familiar names, there came in some from classical sources. Of these it was observed (months after) that one had fixed itself in the memory of the children. They were chasing the kitten, and their inward glee was venting itself in the name of Andromache, which they used as a term of endearment. Some days later, when they were again at play, and shouting ' Andromache/ their father asked them, ' Which is Andromache? ' The younger answered with an exuberance of satisfaction: ' Johnnie's calling me Andromache! ' Their father replied, ' If Johnnie calls you Andromache, I'd call him Polyhymnia! ' At this Johnnie (a boy of six years old) towered up like a pillar of moral conviction, and in a tone of mingled disdain and deprecation, said: 'Augh! Nobody couldn't be called that, I'm sure! ' 660 e. In the minds of children and savages the word and the thing are absolutely identified. If they are able to grasp the name, they seem to have a satisfaction analogous to that which the mature mind tastes in description or analysis. I was staying at the house of a friend, where the youngest child was a brave, bold, golden-locked boy, under three years old. As I was dressing in the morning he came into my room, and we had a long and varied conversation. One of the topics was broached and disposed of somewhat in

' Thereat he took up a strong and confident attitude, and with a tone which at once justified himself and refuted me, he said: ' They are Mabel and Trixey; that 's their names! ' — the last clause a perfect bar of remonstrative music; as much as to say, ' There's nothing to be said after that! ' A boy of five years old was asked, ' Do you know where your cousin Johnnie is at school? ' ' No! I don't know; where is he? ' 'At Honiton.' ' At Hon-t-iton? Isn't that a funny place? / call it! ' Here it will be observed the place is judged of by the sound of its name; there is no distinction between the name and the thing. The following most significant record of native talk in the Aru Islands is from The Malay Archipelago, by Alfred Russell Wallace (1869):— Two or three of them got round me, and begged me for the twentieth time to tell them the name of my country. Then, as they could not pronounce it satisfactorily, they insisted that I was deceiving them, and that it was a name of my own invention. One funny old man, who bore a ludicrous resemblance to a friend of mine at home, was almost indignant. 'Unglung!' said he, 'who ever heard of such a name? — anglang, angerlang — that can't be the name of your country; yon are playing with us.' Then he tried to give a convincing illustration. ' My country is Wanumbai — anybody can say Wanumbai. I'm an orang-Wanumbai; but N-glung! who ever heard of such a name? Do tell us the real name of your country, and when you are gone we shall know how to talk about you.' To this luminous argument and remonstrance I could oppose nothing but assertion, and the whole party remained firmly convinced that I was for some reason or other deceiving them. — ch. xxxi. All these are instances of the inability of man, in the earlier stages of his career, to assume the mastery over language. His mind is enthralled by it, and is led away after all its suggestions. We are told by Professor Jowett that the Greek philosopher, ' the contemporary of Plato and Socrates, was incapable of resisting the power of any ana

Philology is one of the most instrumental of studies for investing man with the full prerogative over- his speech, for its highest office is to enable him to comprehend the relation of his words to the action of his mind, and thus to render the mind superior to verbal illusions. 660 d. Those who think that the sounds of nature first suggested language to man, hold a theory of language which may be compared to that theory of music by which music is derived from the cataract in the mountains, the wind in the trees, or the sound of the ocean on the shore. It appears to me that there is nothing in inward or outward experience to justify such a theory. As there are sounds in nature that may give an occasional suggestion to the musician, but none that can be acknowledged either as his model to work by or as the original source of his art, so it is with speech. Music and language alike must have come from within, from the greatest depths of our nature. Man's conscious work upon language in fitting it to express his mind, is the least part of the matter. The greater part is worked out unconsciously. And long eras pass after the perfecting of its processes, before intellectual man awakes to perceive what he himself has done. This only proves from what a depth within his own nature this 1 The Dialogues of Plato, vol. ii. p. 505.

OF PROSODY. power of speech is evolved; only proves what a mystery man is to himself: and it casts a doubt over the prospect of our ever tracing a philologic path up to those springs which fancy calls the Origin of Language. For me the poet speaks most appropriately on this theme, because he speaks most vaguely, most wonderingly, and most inquiringly: — Ye wandering Utterances, has earth no scheme, No scale of moral music, to unite Powers that survive but in the faintest dream Of memory? — O that ye might stoop to bear Chains, such precious chains of sight As laboured minstrelsies through ages wear! O for a balance fit the truth to tell Of the Unsubstantial, pondered well! To make a path from the visible, ponderable, and corporeal, up to that which is invisible, imponderable, and spiritual, with no other building-material than vocal sound to erect a bridge from matter to mind, — tempering it in the finest filtered harmonies that can be appreciated by the sentient, emotional, and intellectual nature of man; — this' seems to be the task and function of human speech. Of its origin we can only say, it is of the same root with that poetic faculty whereby man makes nature echo his sentiments; it is correlated to the invention of music, whereby dead things are made to discourse of human emotions; it is a peculiar property of that nature whose other chief and proper attributes are the power of Love, and the capacity for the knowledge of God.
