Comment: Re: SHK 8.0974 Two Questions
Unstressed final pentameter [feminine/weak ending] means lying? Not
necessarily, but lying to oneself I'd agree. Look at Lear's opening
statement on the division of powers and all its weak endings, like *Land
of Hope and Glory* being played on a honky-tonk.

The always bright Andrew Walker White is right about Highland
pronunciation, although I think perhaps he is-rightly again-more
impressed by the *diction*, which renders all consonants and all the
subtle variations in vowel pattern audible. But I'm uncertain which
particular Highland accent would rhyme `move' with ' love.

Early Pronunciation: A Way with Words by Gert Ronberg has a good section
on pronunciation, and uses a variety of Elizabethan and Renaissance
texts to prove its point.

Well, there goes one of my pet theories shot down by a few simple
historical acts! Thanks for the information.

Intriguing nonsense.
