See also, for an account of it, Salleugre, M.m. de Litt., ii. 6, 203; and Schelhorn, Amoen. Pasquin himself has hardly said a shrewder saying than this. Artaud de Montor, Hist. des Pont. Ant. My ear is full of summer sounds, With summer sights my languid eye; Beyond the dusty village bounds I loiter in my daily rounds, And in the noon-time shadows lie.
A very close observer might have seen a curious expression flicker over Pasquin Leroy's face at these words, an expression half of laughter, half of scorn, but it was slight and evanescent, and his reply was frigidly courteous. "I really cannot inform you; but I am afraid his Majesty is departing somewhat from his customary routine!
Still Pasquin deserves credit for his efforts; and while other liberty is denied, the Romans may be glad that there is a single voice that cannot be silenced, and a single censor who is not to be corrupted.
The contemptibleness of the assailant made him the more dreaded. Did not the very reeds tell the fatal secret about King Midas? Pasquin was by no means the only figure in Rome who gave expression to thoughts and feelings which it would have been dangerous to the living subjects of the ecclesiastical rule to utter aloud.
I told you long ago she would never love you; I knew long ago that she loved his Majesty, 'Pasquin Leroy!" "Curse you!" said Thord suddenly, in such low infuriated accents that the oath sounded more like a wild beast's snarl. "Why did you not tell me? Why did you not warn me?" Zouche shrugged his shoulders, and began to sidle aimlessly along the roadway.
"Sit down, Graub!" interrupted Pasquin Leroy suddenly; "I know the King's ways well enough, and I can swear upon my honour that he deserves the worst that can be done to him!"
For when Julius is at Rome, the city is lost." Pasquin became a recognized institution, as we have said, under Leo X., and was taken under the protection of the Roman people. His popularity was such as to lead to consequences of which he himself complained.
Notwithstanding all the manager's friendly efforts, the play met at first with very little success, a failure in Davies' opinion "owing in all probability to its being brought on in the latter part of the season, when the public had been satiated with a long run of Pasquin," but, he adds, "it is with pleasure I observe that Fielding generously persisted to serve the man whom he had once espoused; he tacked the 'Fatal Curiosity' to his Historical Register which was played with great success in the ensuing winter."
"Curtius, who has secured the public health, should be rewarded." "Curtis occidit Clementem. Curtius auro Donandus, per quem publica parta salus." Nor was this all. Pasquin declared, that, on occasion of Clement's death, a bitter strife arose between Pluto and Saint Peter as to which should receive the Pope: "Noluit hunc coelum, noluit hunc barathrum."
Carl Perousse, confronted by a thousand difficulties, maintained his usual equable and audacious attitude, scouting with scorn the rumour that the Socialist writer, 'Pasquin Leroy' was merely a disguise adopted by the King himself, and he was as cool and imperturbable as ever when one morning David Jost succeeded in finding him at home, and obtaining an audience.
