To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is difficult to imagine a greater contrast th; that between the varied and harmonious power of t earliest Greek epic, and the rugged rhythm and dicti< of the Annals. Yet the very rudeness of that work significant of the energy of a man who had to accompli a gigantic task by his own unaided efforts. His e had not been passively trained by the musical echc transmitted by earlier minstrels ; nor did he inherit t fluency and richness of expression which a long line poets hands on to their successors. While professing imitate the structure of the Homeric verse, he was unal to seize its finer cadences. Nor had he learned the strici conditions under which that metre could be adapted to t powerful and weighty movement of the Latin languaj If he did much to establish Latin prosody on principl ENNIUS. 103 jviating considerably from those observed by the con- mporary comic poets, yet many points which were regu- ted unalterably for Virgil were left quite unsettled by nnius. There are found occasionally in these fragments ties without any caesura before the fifth foot, as the fol- iwing, in one of the longest and least imperfect of his :mains — Corde capessere : semita nulla pedem stabilibat.
