trope time

here is today's rhetorical figure:

PARONOMASIA: the use of words of like sound. for example: 'dennis the menace'. or: 'the sound wound down'. you could say that at the end of a concert given by one of your heavy-metal jerks. remember: for the price of two of their CDs, you could get a thucydides OCT--in the words of JHG, a priceless treasure forever.

    Agricola Arbustus, nemoris arbuscula curta,
    liuebit crucibus lugubre zelotypus.

    Agricola Arbustus, saltus arbuscula curta,
    Livebit crucibus lugubre zelotypus.
