To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
§ 216. quent. Surrey uses enjambement, and in later dramatic and epic blank verse it becomes more and more frequent. With the great increase of enjambement it becomes more and more usual to put a sentence pause within the verse. Dramatic poets sometimes divide a verse between two or three speakers, e.g. Shakespeare, especially in later dramas. Thus the "centre of gravity" is shifted from the end to a position within the verse, as in alliterative verse (§ 105). Since in blank verse no two consec...utive verses are closely connected (as they are by rime in heroic couplets), the poet has full freedom in sentence grouping. Thus the poet has great freedom, almost as great freedom as prose would give him, but the scheme of the verse is always present in his mind and this determines a certain rhythmical grouping. On the other hand a good style is essential for blank verse unless it is to approach too near prose ; cp. Lewis, Principles p. 63: "The fact is, after all is said, that the great glory of blank verse is not solely in its metre, but jointly in its metre and in its style.
