Type IV. the paragraph consists of a single sentence

The fourth type of the expository paragraph, consisting of a single sentence, generally contains an elaborate simile. Point out the words that introduce the two membefs of the simile in the following : As some fair female unadorned and plain, Secure to please while youth confirms her reign, Slights every borrowed charm that dress supplies, Nor shares with art the triumph of her eyes ; But when those charms are pass'd, for charms are frail, When time advances, and when lovers fail, She then shines forth, solicitous to bless, In all the glaring impotence of dress. Thus fares the land by luxury betrayed : In nature's simplest charms at first arrayed— But verging to decline, its splendors rise, Its vistas strike, its palaces surprise. - OLIVER GOLDSMITH, The Deserted Village.

Exercise What are the points of resemblance between the two objects compared in this paragraph? Why is a diagram of the sentence relation in this paragraph unnecessary? Write an expository paragraph be¬longing to the fourth type.

The Use of Series in Type IV.

Any of the different kinds of series mentioned in sections may be used in the fourth type of the exposi¬tory paragraph by expressing the reasons, functions, etc., in a series of clauses instead of sentences. The series used in the following is one of definitions : If by liberty you mean chastisement of the passions, discipline of the intellect, subjection of the will ; if you mean the fear of inflicting, the shame of committing, a wrong ; if you mean respect for all who are in author¬ity, and consideration for all who are in dependence ; veneration for the good, mercy to the evil, sympathy with the weak ; if you mean watchfulness over all thoughts, temperance in all pleasures, and perseverance in all toils ; if you mean, in a word, that Service which is defined in the liturgy of the English Church to be perfect Freedom, why do you name this by the same word by which the luxurious mean license, and the reckless mean change ; by which the rogue means rapine, and the fool equality ; by which the proud mean anarchy, and the malignant mean violence ? —JOHN RusiciN, Seven Lamfis of Architecture.
