posed to have been founded by Romulus, and once the mistress of the world. Ash.

The o in this word is irrevocably fixed in the English sound of that letter in move, prove, &c. Pope, indeed, rhymes it with dome,

"Thus when we view some well-proportion'd "dome,

"The world's just wonder, and shine, O
"Rome!"

But, as Mr. Nares observes, it is
that he pronounced this word as:

vable → doom, as he rhymes Rome with doom afterward in the same poem.

From the same foes at last both felt their doom; "And the same age saw learning fall, and Rome," Essay on Criticism, v. 685

The truth is, nothing certain can be concluded
from the rhyming of poets. It may serve to
confirm an established usage, but can never di
rect us where usage is various and uncertain.
But the pun which Shakspeare puts into the
mouth of Cassius in Julius Cæsar decidedly
shows what was the pronunciation of this word '
in this time:

"Now it is Rome, indeed, and room enough,
"When there is in it but one only man.

And the Grammar in Queen Anne's time, re-
commended by Steele, says, the city Rome is
pronounced like Room; and Dr. Jones in his
Spelling Dictionary, 1704, gave it the same
sound.
