One describing his landing vpon a strange coast,
sayd thus preposterously.
_When we had climbde the clifs, and were a shore_,
Whereas he should haue said by good order.
_When we were come ashore and clymed had the cliffs_
For one must be on land ere he can clime. And as another said:
_My dame that bred me up and bare me in her wombe_.
Whereas the bearing is before the bringing vp. All your other figures of
disorder because they rather seeme deformities then bewties of language,
for so many of them as be notoriously vndecent, and make no good harmony,
I place them in the Chapter of vices hereafter following.
_CHAP. XIIII._
_Of your figures Auricular that worke by Surplusage_.
Your figures _auricular_ that worke by surplusage, such of them as be
materiall and of importaunce to the sence or bewtie of your language, I
referre them to the harmonicall speaches oratours among the figures
rhetoricall, as be those of repetition, and iteration or amplification.
All other sorts of surplusage, I accompt rather vicious then figuratiue, &
therefore not melodious as shalbe remembred in the chapter of viciosities
or faultie speaches.
_CHAP. XV._
_Of auricular figures working by exchange._
[Sidenote: _Enallage_, or the Figure of Exchange.
