Orpheus and Eurydice - A Grecian Tragedy; Plato's Version #221467

Strict rules in composition are pedantic; better with some errors than hypercritically perfect. An epic poem should move the passions and affections with elegant and appropriate thoughts and incidents. The author takes the liberty of inserting his own comments and probabilities as to the real and fabu lous parts therein. The hypercritic muse may insist the measure be exact vet knows repeated couplets tire the ear and detract from nature's common sense.
