requirement — Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s 
Eneid and Milton’s Paradise Lost. 
Some would add Dante’s Divina Com- 
media, and others, with less reason, 
Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata. Mil- 
ton’s poem is without all controversy 
the greatest in our language, in its 
largeness of theme and breadth of 
treatment and majesty of language. 
It meets Dryden’s requirement that 
in an Epic ‘all things must be grave, 
majesticaland sublime.’’ It is written 
in blank verse, the use of which Milton 
himself nobly justifies, and in that

iambic pentameter which holds the 
place in English that is held in Greek

ever moulded by the lips of man.” 
(Tennyson. ) 
Dramatic poetry is employed espe- 
cially in the expression of human pas- 
sions and emotions in fictitious scenes 
and events. It has to do with the 
play af the mingled and often contra- 
dictory movements of the actors on 
the stage of life. It gives large scope 
to the Imagination and the Fancy, and 
shifts its scenes regardless of the laws 
of mental perspective. It is often 
divided into Tragedy and Comedy, the 
former standing for the more sad and 
terrible, the latter for the lighter and 
more ludicrous phases of character 
and life. Tragedy and Comedy may 
be blended ; Macaulay speaks of “the 
noble Tragi-Comedy of Measure for 
Measure.’ Ofall English dramatists, 
Shakespeare stands confessedly with- 
out a rival; all before him were play- 
wrights, all after him little more than 
imitators. 
Lyric Poetry consists of songs and 
short poems, which may be set to 
music orsung. The Psalms are Lyric 
in their form; so are the songs in 
Shakespeare’s plays and in Scott’s 
poems. Milton’s Lycidas is often 
classified as a Lyric, but this seems 
too great an extension of the term. 
Among the most noted lyrical poets 
of our language are Cowley and Her- 
rick, Burns and Thomas Moore. 
The phrase ‘‘schools of poetry”’ is 
often used. It is applied to writers 
in whose style is recognized some com- 
mon principle by which they are dis- 
tinguished from other groups of poets. 
Thus we have the metaphysical school 
of Donne and Quarles; the mystical 
school of Vaughn and Herbert; the 
artificial school of Dryden and Pope ; 
the transition school represented by 
Thomson and Gray ; the moral school 
of Blair, Young and Cowper; the 
Lake school of Coleridge and Words- 
worth ; the German school of Tenny- 
son and Browning; and we may add 
the transcendental school of Emerson 
and his disciples, and the American 
school of Bryant, Whittier, Lowell 
and Holmes. 
There are two philosophical terms 
which are often used in speaking of 
Poetry: Objective and Subjective. The 
former expresses the picturing of 
outward life, scenery or action; the 
latter denotes the kind of poetry which 
reflects the poet’s own mind. Scott 
is.one of the greatest. masters of the 
Objective style, Wordsworth of the 
Subjective ; among Americans may be 
instanced Whittier and Emerson. ~ 
We may close with Washington 
Irving’s estimate of Poetry: “It is 
the gift of poetry to hallow every 
place in which it moves; to breathe 
around nature an odor more exquisite 
than the perfume of the rose, and to 
shed over it a tint more magical than 
the blush of morning.”
