It is by scrutinizing and dissecting passages in this manner that the student will acquire a stock of poetical language that will render versification comparatively easy; he will learn how to combine and dispose words so as to produce the effect he cannot but observe in his models; and it is principally to this point that the teacher-should direct his instructions.
