ON PERSONIFICATIONS IN POETRY« 
(Continied from page 18.) 
N the former part of this paper, after 
fuggefting three claffes of poetical perfo- 
nifications of abftra&t ideas, namely, the 
natural, the emblematical, and the mixed, a 
number of examples were given illuftra- 
tive of the firft of thefe clafles. Though - 
thefe examples fufficiently proved the pof- 
fibility in many cafes of difttin@ly mark- 
ing out a perfonified figure, by fimply 
imprefling it with the quality or circum- 
ftance which forms its character, yet it is. 
obvious, that in Various inftances this 
cannot be fo happily effe&ted. ‘The idea 
may be of too abitraSted a nature for this 
purpole ; the quality or affection may 
difplay itfelf too faintly by external to- 
kens ; or may approach too nearly the 
confines of another. In thefe cafes, the 
‘aillociation of certain types or emblems, 
derived from natural or artificial circum- 
ftances belonging to it, will be highly 
- ufeful in elucidating the figure... Further, 
even when fuch additions are not abfo- 
lutely neceffary, the imagination ‘of the 
poet will frequently fupply them for the 
fake of ornament and variety. Thus it 
has happened, that the greater part of the 
allegorical perfonages to be met with, are 
compounded of natural expreffions and 
fymbolical adjun&s ; and it is inthe due 
mixture of thefe, and the pfefervation of 
congruity between the natural and arti- - 
ficial. chara&teriftics, that the {kill of the 
pect Is pectiliarly exerctied. We thal] 
ave frequent occafion, under the prefent 
head, to remark the defeé&ts of even the 
greateft matters in this point, when their
