Note 1014:2 — METRICAL EXPERIMENTS[1014:1]
Reading edition
Sumptuous Tyranny floating this way. [MS.] On p. 17 of Notebook 22 Coleridge writes:—
¯ ˘ ˘, ¯ ˘ ˘, ¯ ˘, ¯ Drunk with I—dolatry—drunk with, Wine.
A noble metre if I can find a metre to precede or follow.
Sūmptŭŏus Dālĭlă flōatĭng thŭs wāy Drunk with Idolatry, drunk with wine.
Both lines are from Milton's Samson Agonistes.
