Tycho and Copernicus, with their long silvery rays; brilliant Aristarchus; dark, deep Plato; the straight valley, the so-called seas, the smooth, round, smaller craters, isolated Pico, the ridges, and the wildly-rugged battlements upon the terminator all were scanned in turn, with Tom's thirst increasing every time he looked.
"Very often some striking poetical turn given to a subject makes it, all at once, clear to our comprehension, even when long and learned disquisitions have failed; and I am acquainted with such an one, written by an anonymous author, and which may please you and you too, Aristarchus. It epitomizes very happily the subject of our discussion.
"Your poet's verses are pretty and appropriate," Aristarchus now said, "and I am very happy to find myself compared to the children who catch the falling drops.
Meeting Aristarchus, who looked very dejected, he said to him, "I see, Aristarchus, that something troubles you, but impart the cause of your grief to your friends, and perhaps we may comfort you."

"Believe me, sir," said I, with a bantering tone, "that I deem your opinion of too much consequence not to be governed by it." Seeing that I was in earnest, my friends were angry with him; and the Aristarchus was in some confusion.
Other slaves of the Berber race were brought in coasting vessels from Opone on the incense coast, near to the island of Dioscorides. Aristarchus, who had been the tutor of Euergetes II., and of a son of Philometor, was one of the ornaments of this reign. He had been a pupil of Aristophanes, the grammarian, and had then studied under Crates at Pergamus, the rival school to Alexandria.
