C
Of Offences against Reputation in general
of expression which characterize a figured stile, than it can
be when delivered altogether in a plain stile. Moreover</lb/>
in this figured stile it is more apt to be consigned to verse.
Defamation when thus embellished is called Satire. Satire
whether in prose or in verse is not only more apt to be
remembered than downright defamation and reproach but
the impression it makes to the party's disadvantage is
much stronger, even when the substance of the imputation
is the same. The pleasure of surprize
which the hearer or reader
reaps from the novelty of the image, the pleasure he reaps at the
idea of the ingenuity displayed by the composer; these and perhaps
some other pleasures that might be reckoned up, concur
in producing two effects which are both highly disadvantageous
to him. They are enough of themselves to furnish
the reader with a motive for retaining the <sic>satyre and communicating
it to others; and by conciliating his affections in favour
of the author of the satyre they tend in a considerable
degree to prejudice him against the injured person who is the
object of it. And these effects it will produce in a greater or
less
