[Sidenote: _Epitheton_, or the Qualifier.] When ye will speake giuing euery person or thing besides his proper name a qualitie by way of addition whether it be of good or of bad it is a figuratiue speach of audible alteration, so is it also of sence as to say. _Fierce Achilles, wise Nestor, wilie Vlysses, Diana the chast and thou louely Venus: With thy blind boy that almost neuer misses, But hits our hartes when he levels at vs._ Or thus commending the Isle of great Brittaine. _Albion hugest of Westerne Ilands all, Soyle of sweete ayre and of good store: God send we see thy glory neuer fall, But rather dayly to grow more and more._ Or as we sang of our Soueraigne Lady giuing her these Attributes besides her proper name. _Elizatbeth regent of the great Brittaine Ile, Honour of all regents and of Queenes._ But if we speake thus not expressing her proper name _Elizabeth_, videl. _The English Diana, the great Britton mayde._ Then is it not by _Epitheton_ or figure of Attribution but by the figures _Antonomasia_, or _Periphrasis_. [Sidenote: _Endiadis_, or the Figure of Twinnes.] Ye haue yet another manner of speach when ye will seeme to make two of one, not thereunto constrained, which therefore we call the figure of Twynnes, the Greekes _Endiadis_ thus. _Not you coy dame your lowrs nor your lookes._ For [_your lowring lookes_] And as one of our ordinary rimers said, _Of fortune nor her frowning face, I am nothing agast._ In stead of [_fortunes frowning face_.] One praysing the Neapolitans for good men at armes, said by the figure of Twynnes thus. _A proud people and wise and valiant, Fiercely fighting with horses and with barbes: By whole prowes the Romain Prince did daunt, Wild Affricanes and the lawlesse Alarbes: The Nubiens marching with their armed cartes, And sleaing a farre with venim, and with dartes._ Where ye see this figure of Twynnes twise vsed, once when he said _horses and barbes_ for barbd horses: againe when he saith with _venim_ and with _dartes_ for venimous dartes. _CHAP. XVII._ _Of the figures which we call Sensable, because they alter and affect the minde by alteration of sence, and first in single wordes._ The eare hauing receiued his due satisfaction by the _auricular_ figures, now must the minde also be seured, with his naturall delight by figures _sensible_ such as by alteration of intendments affect the courage, and geue a good liking to the conceit. And first, single words haue their sence and vnderstanding altered and figured many wayes, to wit, by transport, abuse, crosse-naming, new naming, change of name. This will seeme very darke to you, vnlesse it be otherwise explaned more particularly: and first of _Transport_.
