In declamation, students must memorize a passage from a text, such as Dante's "Commedia", and then declaim it before the faculty and fellow students. Each year, four in-class declamations are held in English and History, with an additional four public declamations held for students who wish to audition to declaim before the entire Brooklyn Latin School community.

F.R. Leavis argued that Boswell's criticisms of the play – "that [Johnson] has no sense of the theatre, and worse, cannot present or conceive his themes dramatically" – were "obvious", and that Irene was a failure because Johnson's best poetry (such as The Vanity of Human Wishes) was "a poetry of statement, exposition and reflection: nothing could be remoter from the Shakespearean use of language [...] than the Johnsonian." Like Eliot, Leavis suggested that the play might have been better if Johnson had not been determined to write it in blank verse: > He is clearly determined that his verse shall not be changed into the > 'periods of a declaimer', and that it shall not be said that the audience > cannot easily perceive 'where the lines end or begin' (see his remarks on > blank-verse in the Life of Milton). In couplets, of course, he couldn't have > written so dismally. With the absence of rhyme and of the movement goes the > absence of wit.
