81.
The attributes of
purity & fecundity
ascribed by J. B. to pains
& pleasures, reworked
upon.
J. F. C.
any other than what in his language is a dyslogistic sense:
in whh. case sense a proposition speaking with approbation
of the addition of supposed to be made of pleasure when
the pain is spoken of as impure wd. be a self- contradictory
one: It looks as if when composing these verses, of which
some will say as was said of Pope's pastorals that if
not poetry they are something better he had in his mind's
eye the passage is Lilly's in the Westminster Grammar
in whh. purity & impurity are applied to letters.
Litera, se persecat vocales, pura vocatur
impura est, persecat si consona,: it is to the
letter u that these two opposite qualities are
ascribed in the two cases. Purely neutral (it need
scarce be said) was the sense in whh. he found both
these words purity & impurity employed in that part of the so elaborately
constructed & labour-saving specimen of didactive
metre. The genius of Lilly manifested itself in giving
personality to letters & parts of speech, as that of Dawson
did afterwards in bestowing that the same attribute
on plants: too happy mankind, had legal fictions
been as innoxious as these grammatical ones!
