1805 Seymour

276 stubbornes] Seymour (1805, 1:16-17): <p. 16> “It is, perhaps, unnecessary to tell the reader of Shakespeare, that ‘Passion,’ like all other words, wherein a junction of vowels will admit of either a lengthened or contracted utterance, the poet applies variously to suit the quantity and tenor of his verse . . . </p. 16><p. 17> Nor is this effect of associated vowels confined to themselves, even iron consonants, intervening, will often be amalgamated in the coalition. . . . [He gives stubbornes as an example of a disyllabic word.] </p. 17>
