He too stands here upon the sacred page but the shadow of a name. The book closes with an acrostical poem -twenty-two verses beginning with the Hebrew letters in the order of the alphabet upon "The Virtuous Woman." The word "virtue" here is used in the Roman sense; it signifies rather the vigorous woman, the capable woman.
In proof of his subdued quality, however, under the acrostical tyranny, I quote two little unpublished specimens addressed to the Misses Locke, whom he had never seen. Must I write with pen unwilling, And describe those graces killing, Rightly, which I never saw? Yes it is the album's law. Let me then invention strain, On your excelling grace to feign. Cold is fiction.
It was probably formed soon after the first return from the Exile. The title of the thirty-third has probably been omitted by some copyist; the ninth and tenth in some old Hebrew copies are written as one psalm, and there is an acrostical arrangement which shows that they really belong together. The psalm may have been divided for liturgical purposes, or by accident in copying.
The first and second, the fourth and fifth, have each twenty-two verses or stanzas; the third one has sixty-six stanzas. All but the last are acrostical poems. There are twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet; each of these letters, in regular order, begins a verse in four of these songs; in the third lamentation there are three verses for each letter.
