POSTSCRIPT

For the belief in 'Nature' (supra, p. xxiv) the following verses of Chapman may be quoted, from the address To the Reader prefixed to the Iliads; speaking of Homer

'Whose right not all those great learn'd men have done,
In some main parts, that were his commentars:

But as the illustration of the sun

Should be attempted by the erring stars,

They fail'd to search his deep and treasurous heart;

The cause was, since they wanted the fit key

Of Nature, in their downright strength of Art
With Poesy to open Poesy.'
