a form of speech, by which the speaker, through some affection, as sorrow, bathfulness, fear, anger, or vehemency, breaks off his speech before it be all ended. A figure, when speaking of a thing, we yet seem to conceal it, though indeed we aggravate it; or when the course of the sentence begun is so stayed, as thereby some part of the sentence, not being uttered, may be understood; as, I might say much more, but modesty commands silence.
