' HARRIS. 'I think Heroick poetry is best in blank verse;yet it appears that rhyme is essential to English poetry, from ourdeficiency in metrical quantities. In my opinion, the chief excellenceof our language is numerous prose. ' JOHNSON. 'Sir William Temple wasthe first writer who gave cadence to English prose. Before his time theywere careless of arrangement, and did not mind whether a sentence endedwith an important word or an insignificant word, or with what part ofspeech it was concluded. ...' GARRICK. 'Of all the translations that ever were attempted, I thinkElphinston's Martial the most extraordinary. He consulted me upon it, who am a little of an epigrammatist myself, you know.

Why, his translationis more difficult to understand than the original. I thought him a manof some talents; but he seems crazy in this. ' JOHNSON. 'Sir, you havedone what I had not courage to do.
