Lacking in the Primula veris, these scapes must obviously have been lost at the time of the evolution of this form. Proceeding on this line of speculation we at once see that a very adequate opportunity for systematic atavism is offered here.

Poesy must resemble Natural Truth; but it must be Ethical. Indeed the Poet dresses Truth, and adorns Nature; but does not alter them. Ficta voluptatis causa sint proxima veris. In Variety of Fancy, and Sweetness of Expression, you see OVID far above him; for VIRGIL rejected many of those things which OVID wrote.
