NOTE III.—Emphatic words are often printed in Italics. When, however, different degrees of emphasis are to be denoted, the higher degrees are designated by the use of Capitals, LARGER or SMALLER, according to the degree of intensity.

EXAMPLES.

  1. Our motto shall be, our country, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY, and NOTHING BUT OUR COUNTRY.
  2. Thou Child of Joy! SHOUT round me: let me HEAR thy shouts, thou happy Shepherd Boy!
  3. Freedom calls you! quick, be ready,
    Think of what your sires have done;
    Onward, ONWARD! strong and steady,
    Drive the tyrant to his den;
    ON, and let the watchword be,
    Country, HOME, and LIBERTY.

NOTE IV.—Emphasis, as before intimated, varies in degrees of intensity.

EXAMPLES OF INTENSIVE EMPHASIS.

  1. He shook the fragment of his blade,
    And shouted: "VICTORY!
    Charge, Chester, CHARGE! On, Stanley, ON!"
  2. A month! O, for a single WEEK! I as not for years', though an AGE were too little for the much I have to do.
  3. Now for the FIGHT! now for the CANNON PEAL!
    ONWARD! through blood, and toil, and cloud, and fire!
    Glorious—the SHOUT, the SHOCK, the CRASH of STEEL,
    The VOLLEY'S ROLL, the ROCKET'S BLAZING SPIRE!
  4. Hear, O HEAVENS! and give ear, O EARTH!

NOTE V.—Emphasis sometimes changes the seat of accent from its ordinary position.
