Excerpt from The Scottish Historical Review, Vol. 8 But, of course, the fact that both poems copy Chaucer is of no great significance. The only curious circumstance here is that both poems make a similar reference just at the very same point, at the same distance from the beginning. I here notice the fact which gave one the first hint, viz. The extraordinary prolixity in the style. J. Begins with a portentous sentence thirty-two lines in length. L. Begins with a succession of long sentences, of which the first extends to sixteen lines at least, followed by And and ten lines more. Clause follows clause, quite loosely joined together, as though the object were to avoid coming to a full stop. This should be particularly observed, as well as the monotonously excessive use, in both poems, of a caesura at the end of the fourth syllable. J. Begins with an Introduction, in ten-syllable couplets, of 190 lines. L., which is mainly a translation from the French, begins with a general introduction of 195 lines, with a more particular introduction having reference to the subject. It is bere that we should look for the parallel passages; and they are not difficult to find. I now quote them, keeping to the order in J.
