In such cases, as the falling inflection is required in the former part by the principle of contrast and emphasis (as will hereafter be more fully explained), the sentence necessarily closes with the rising inflection. Sometimes, also, emphasis alone seems to require the rising inflection on the concluding word. See exception to Rule VII.
(5.-2.)
STRONG EMPHASIS.
RULE VII.—Language which demands strong emphasis generally requires the falling inflection.
EXAMPLES. 1. Command or urgent entreaty; as,
Begone',
Run' to your houses, fall' upon your knees,
Pray' to the Gods to intermit the plagues.
0, save' me, Hubert' save' me I My eyes are out
Even with the fierce looks of these bloody men.
2. Exclamation, especially when indicating strong emotion; as,
0, ye Gods'! ye Gods'! must I endure all this?
Hark'! Hark'! the horrid sound
Hath raised up his head.
