Please help me
Hi Mr Micawber again,
I am in trouble with some grammatical problems in the following paragraph. Please help me to solve them.
What I have thus far said applies to Poetry in general; but especially to those parts of composition where the Poet speaks through the mouths of his characters; and upon this point it appears to have such weight that I will conclude, there are few persons, of good sense, who would not allow that the dramatic parts of composition are defective, in proportion as they deviate from the real language of nature, and are coloured by a diction of the Poet's own, either peculiar to him as an individual Poet, or belonging simply to Poets in general, to a body of men who, from the circumstance of their compositions being in metre, it is expected will employ a particular language.
1. Am I right when re-writing the sentence in bold style as follows:
To many of men who will employ a particular language, It is expected from the circumstance of their composition being in metre.
2. What does the "it" in the sentence replace for?
Hope to get your help.
Thank you very very much.
Best wishes,
Cao Lynh

Glad to be of help Cao. I just rearranged the words you gave, but if you want a better sentence using different words, you could say:-
It is to be expected that poets will use a certain language when composing poetry.
It is to be expected that poets will use a certain language when composing poetry.

Hi again, ms Tam
Thank you very much for helping me twice. That's very kind of you. Your re-written sentence is quite clear for me to get the meaning.
Once again thank you so much.
See you.
