There ceases the likeness and begins the contrast: the blunt simplicity of Peter, the gorgeous magnificence of Louis; the sternness of a legislator for barbarians, the clemency of an idol of courtiers.

Nor does he recognize the place as Avernus which it is bound to be sooner or later but spells it Olympus in very truth.
