In Italy, at all events, it was rather due to an abundant sense of style, as is further proved by the mass of contemporary reports, histories, and even pamphlets, in the 'terza rima. Just as Niccolo da Uzzano published his scheme for a new constitution, Machiavelli his view of the history of his own time, a third, the life of Savonarola, and a fourth the siege of Piombino by Alfonso the Great, in this difficult meter, in order to produce a stronger effect, so did many others feel the need of hexameters, in order to win their special public.

Fortunately the dogs had found, and Nuflo had succeeded in killing, a great ant-eater, so that we were well supplied with excellent, strength-giving flesh. We were among the Riolama mountains at last, and Rima kept with us, apparently expecting great things. I expected nothing, for reasons to be stated by and by.

She never answers, but when I speak to my people they will answer me." Then she turned away as if there was nothing more to be said. "Is this all I am to hear from you, Rima these few words?" I exclaimed. "So much did you say to your grandfather, so much to your dead mother, but to me you say so little!"

Late in the afternoon old Nuflo returned, but did not say where he had been; and shortly afterwards Rima reappeared, demure as usual, in her faded cotton dress, her cloud of hair confined in two long plaits. My curiosity was more excited than ever, and I resolved to get to the bottom of the mystery of her life.

"Rima," I said at length, a new thought coming to my aid, "it is true that I am not here," touching my lips as she had done, "and that my words are nothing. But look into my eyes, and you will see me there all, all that is in my heart." "Oh, I know what I should see there!" she returned quickly. "What would you see tell me?"

What we have derived directly from the Italian poets are, first, some metres especially the sonnet and the octave stanza, though the latter has never taken firm root in England. 'Terza rima, attempted by Shelley, Byron, Morris, and Mrs. Browning, has not yet become acclimatised.

It is composed in ottava and terza rima, with the introduction of a canzonet, and marks an important advance on previous work, not only in the nature of the plot, but in being divided into acts and scenes. Sixteen years elapsed between the publication of Amaranta and the appearance of the regular pastoral drama in Beccari's Sacrifizio.

In a very few words I explained my meaning; even fewer would have sufficed, so quick was her apprehension. "If it is a blank," she returned quickly, "then you know of nothing to stop us no river we cannot swim, and no great mountains like those where Quito is." "But I happen to know, Rima, for it has been related to me by old Indians, that of all places that is the most difficult of access.

She seemed strangely disquieted, and shook back her loose hair, and with her small toes moved the sparkling sand at her feet, and once or twice her eyes glanced shyly at my face. "Rima, you have not answered me," I persisted. "Will you not say yes?" "Yes." "Where does your grandfather spend his day when he goes out with his dogs?" She shook her head slightly, but would not speak.

I had already recognized the place from his own exact description of it, and I now saw all that I had looked to see a big, barren hill. But Rima, what had she expected that her face wore that blank look of surprise and pain? "Is this the place where mother appeared to you?" she suddenly cried. "The very place this! This!" Then she added: "The cave where you tended her where is it?"
