I remember an Instance of this Monosyllable Collocation at the Beginning of a Line in rhym'd Verse, which is very well worth inserting here. It is at the Conclusion of Mr. Pit's 4th Æneid, when Juno sends Iris from Heaven in haste to relieve Dido from the Agonies of Death.
"Tum Juno Omnipotens, longum miserata dolorem,
Difficilesque obitus, Irim Demisit Olympo
Quæ luctantem animam, nexosque resolveret artus.
"Then mighty Juno with a melting Eye,
Beheld her dreadful Anguish from the Sky;
And bade fair Iris from the starry Pole,
Fly, and enlarge her agonizing Soul.
How is the Verse animated by the placing that Monosyllable, Fly, at the Beginning of the last Line.—The Reader sees all the Concern of Juno, and all the Hurry she is in to get the unhappy Queen released from the Pangs of Death.
