Excerpt from The Child and the Curriculum

There is another study in which I am engaged, which is still more tedious and perplexing - to make myself master of all the rules of a hundred different kinds of verses, and of all the musical modulations of words and syllables. After deploring the lack of able teachers, he continues It would far exceed the bounds of a familiar letter to explain this matter fully, to lay open all the secrets of that art of metre, concerning letters, syllables, poetic feet and figures, verses, tones, time, &0. Add to this the doctrine of the seven divisions of poetry with all their variations, and what number of feet every different kind of verse must consist of.
