Gboup B. 



This group need not be particularized in all its details, seeing that it 

 is exactly the same as Group A, excepting that the last unit is followed 

 by an unstressed syllable, making a feminine ending.

Group G. 



As was the case with Group B, there is no need to particularize this 

 group in all its details, seeing that it is exactly the same as Group A, 

 excepting that the last unit is followed by two unstressed syllables, making 

 a double-feminine ending.

 And to the centre of the whirlpool with a swift impetuosity 



We were impelled and drawn rcsistlessly along the rapid flow, 

 With an accelerated motion and a quadrupled velocity 



We were engulphed within the Maelstrom in a headlong plunge below. 



Truly these may be the veriest doggerel, but both are possibilities, and a classiti(>r 

 must open his cars to admit the pipings of Pan no less than the lyrings of Apollo.
