[...] another thing yet more considerable is conduct and design in whatever kind of Poetry, whether the Epic, the Dramatic, the Lyric, the Elegiac, the Epænetic, the Bucolic, or the Epigram; under one of which all the whole circuit of Poetic design, is one way or other included; so that whoever [27] should desire to introduce some new of Poem of different fashion, from any known to the Antients, would do no more then he that should study to bring a new Order into Architecture, altogether different both from the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan and Composite. Epigram, is as it were the fag end of Poetry, and indeed consists rather of conceit and acumen of Wit, then of Poetical invention, yet it is more commendable to be a Martial in Epigram then Juvenal's Codrus in Heroic Poetry. The Epænetic, comprehends the Hymn, the Epithalamium, the Genethliacon, or what else tends to the praise or congratulation of Divine, or on Earth Eminent Persons: the Bucolic, on Eclogue, pretends only the familiar discourse of Sheapheards about their Loves or such like concernments, yet under that umbrage treats oft times of higher matters thought convenient to be spoken of rather mysteriously and obscurely, then in plain tearms: the Elegiac seems, intended at first for complaint of crosses in Love, or other calamitous accidents, but became applicable afterwards to all manner of subjects and various oc[28]casions: the Lyric consists of Songs or Airs of Love, or other the most soft and delightfull subject, in verse most apt for Musical Composition, such as the Italian Sonnet; but most especially Canzon and Madrigal before mentioned, and the English Ode heretofore much after the same manner: the Dramatic comprehends Satyr, and her two Daughters Tragedy and Comedy: the Epic is of the largest extent, and includes all that is narrative either of things or Persons, the higst degree whereof is the Heroic, as Tragedy of the Dramatic, both which consist in the greatness of the Argument [...].
