For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes, BRightly expressive as the twins of Lœda, ShAll find her own sweet name, that nestling lies UpoN the page, enwrapped from every reader. SearCh narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure DivinE—a talisman—an amulet That muSt be worn _at heart_. Search well the measure— The wordS—the syllables! Do not forget The triviAlest point, or you may lose your labor! And yet theRe is in this no Gordian knot Which one miGht not undo without a sabre, If one could mErely comprehend the plot. Enwritten upoN the leaf where now are peering Eyes scintillaTing soul, there lie _perdus_ Three eloquent wOrds, oft uttered in the hearing Of poets, by poets—aS the name’s a poet’s, too. Its letters, althouGh naturally lying Like the knight PintO—Mendez Ferdinando— Still form a synonym fOr Truth. Cease trying! You will not read the riDdle, though you do the best you _can do_. ANAGRAMS. But with still more disordered march advance (Nor march it seemed, but wild fantastic dance) The uncouth Anagrams, distorted train, Shifting in double mazes o’er the plain.—_Scribleriad._ Camden, in a chapter in his _Remains_, on this frivolous and now almost obsolete intellectual exercise, defines Anagrams to be a dissolution of a name into its letters, as its elements; and a new connection into words is formed by their transposition, if possible, without addition, subtraction, or change of the letters: and the words should make a sentence applicable to the person or thing named. The anagram is complimentary or satirical; it may contain some allusion to an event, or describe some personal characteristic. Thus, Sir Thomas Wiat bore his own designation in his name:— Wiat—A Wit. _Astronomer_ may be made _Moon-starer_, and _Telegraph_, _Great Help_. _Funeral_ may be converted into _Real Fun_, and _Presbyterian_ may be made _Best in prayer_. In _stone_ may be found _tones_, _notes_, or _seton_; and (taking _j_ and _v_ as duplicates of _i_ and _u_) the letters of the alphabet may be arranged so as to form the words _back_, _frown’d_, _phlegm_, _quiz_, and _Styx_. _Roma_ may be transposed into _amor_, _armo_, _Maro_, _mora_, _oram_, or _ramo_. The following epigram occurs in a book printed in 1660: Hate and debate Rome through the world has spread; Yet Roma _amor_ is, if backward read: Then is it strange Rome hate should foster? No; For out of backward _love_ all hate doth grow.
