VI. Adverbs.
In the use and the creation of adverbs Swinburne’s
language shows a good many characteristic points; here
also it is largely based on the rules of the older language.
In the first place Swinburne’s vocabulary includes a
number of archaic adverbs like enow, alway, sometime, right,
■ fall, etc, and several varieties of now existing ones, as
afar for far, kin for akin, etc.
I, 2, My soul said in me: This is marvellous
If sin and she be kin or amorous . . .
III, 232, . . . seeing the sun, afar above . . .
As regards new formations there must be made a
distinction between three groups: adverbs formed without
a prefix or a suffix; adverbs formed with a prefix (only
a- is represented); and adverbs formed with suffixes.
Naturally the first of these groups is the rarest one.
I have noted:
II, 260, . . . Nor fell their fame defaced
Whom stormiest Adria with tumultuous tides
Whirls undersea and hides . . .
IV, 292, . . . from her sides
Sprang her hounds, labouring at the leash, and slipped,
And plashed ear-deep with plunging feet.
The prefix a- forms some adverbs, three of which
are quoted from Swinburne by N. E. D.:
Ill, 305, . . . And all the host of all men driven afoam
By the red hand of Rome . . .
