OBS. 5.—When the same word is qualified by two or more Adjectives, the one denoting the most definite quality should be placed next it; and, when one Adjective specifies and the other qualifies, the Qualifying Adjective is placed next the Noun.

EXAMPLES.-1. An industrious YOUNG man.

2. A large SWEET apple.

3. "Sound the LOUD timbrel o'er Egypt's DARK sea.”

NOTE V.-An Adjective in Predicate is placed immediately after its Verb or Participle.

3. "His palsied hand WAXED strong."

4. "And the eyes of the sleepers WAXED deadly and chill.” 5. "How various his employments whom the world

CALLS idle."

EXAMPLES.-1. "Vanity often RENDERS man contemptible."

2. "Winter MAKETH the light heart sad.”

OBS. 2.-EXCEPTION 2.-For the sake of euphony, for emphasis, or for rhythm, the Adjective is sometimes placed before the Verb.

EXAMPLES.-1. "Hard is my fate, cried the heart-broken stranger." 2. "Bloodless ARE these limbs, and cold."

3.

Hard, hard, indeed, was the contest for freedom."

OBS. 3.-This construction should be carefully distinguished from that in which the Adjective qualifies the Object of the Verb.

EXAMPLES.-1. "But we left HIM alone with his glory."
