"Against your fame with fondness hate combines;
The rival batters, and the lover mines."
—Dr. Johnson.
XXXIX. They sometimes place a long or dissyllabic preposition after its object; as,
1. "When beauty, Eden's bowers within,
First stretched the arm to deeds of sin,
When passion burn'd and prudence slept,
The pitying angels bent and wept."
—James Hogg.
2. "The Muses fair, these peaceful shades among,
With skillful fingers sweep the trembling strings."
—Lloyd.
3. "Where Echo walks steep hills among,
List'ning to the shepherd's song."
—J. Warton, U. Poems, p. 33.
XL. They have occasionally employed certain prepositions for which, perhaps, it would not be easy to cite prosaic authority; as, adown, aloft, aloof, anear, aneath, askant, aslant, aslope, atween, atwixt, besouth, traverse, thorough, sans. (See Obs. 10th, and others, at p. 441.)
XLI. They oftener employ INTERJECTIONS than do prose writers; as,
"O let me gaze!—Of gazing there's no end.
O let me think!—Thought too is wilder'd here."
—Young.
XLII. They oftener employ ANTIQUATED WORDS and modes of expression; as,
1. "Withouten that, would come an heavier bale." —Thomson.
