Every line in poetry, except what is regarded as making but one verse with the line preceding, should begin with a capital; as,

"Our sons their fathers' failing language see,

And such as Chaucer is, shall Dryden be."—Pope.

Of the exception, some editions of the Psalms in Metre are full of examples; as,

"Happy the man whose tender care

relieves the poor distress'd!

When troubles compass him around,

the Lord shall give him rest."

Psalms with Com. Prayer, N. Y., 1819, Ps. xli.
