 * Examples ** from text:

1) From The Tale of Orpheus in this particular story, written by the poet Eclogues Georgics, the entire work is written in the verse style. Although in this example it does not have rhyme.

"WHO THEN, YOU YOUNG, MOST IMPUDENT UPSTART, has told you

to break and enter my home? What do you want here?" But he,

"You know, Proteus, you know full well. Nobody fools you.

So stop diddling me. Obeying the gods' instructions,

I come here looking for answers to explain my foul luck."

That's what he said. Then, the diviner, under great force,

rolled eyes that glittered with sea-blue light, andgritting

his teeth, opened his lips to release the truth.
