Definition

1. 87. DIEXODUS.
There is the enumeration of successive particulars in such a way that they are presented in parallel order. (De Mille)

Example

1. "This is the state of man; to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him;
The third day, comes a frost a killing frost;
And-when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening-nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do." -SHAKESPEARE. (De Mille)

1. "At thirty, man suspects himself a food;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty, chides his infamous delay;
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve,
Resolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same." -YOUNG. (De Mille)
