The principal churches were assigned them; and that of St Laurence in Damaso was allotted to Xavier. Being now freed from his quartan ague, and his strength being again restored, he preached with more vigour and vehemence than ever. Death, the last judgment, and the pains of hell, were the common subject of his sermons.
Fas est ab hoste doceri disrespect is made more pungent by quotation; and there is no doubt but he felt relieved, and went upstairs into his tutor's chamber with a quiet mind. M'Brair sat by the cheek of the peat-fire and shivered, for he had a quartan ague and this was his day.
But I would have them whom the lightness or foolery of the argument may offend to consider that mine is not the first of this kind, but the same thing that has been often practiced even by great authors: when Homer, so many ages since, did the like with the battle of frogs and mice; Virgil, with the gnat and puddings; Ovid, with the nut; when Polycrates and his corrector Isocrates extolled tyranny; Glauco, injustice; Favorinus, deformity and the quartan ague; Synescius, baldness; Lucian, the fly and flattery; when Seneca made such sport with Claudius' canonizations; Plutarch, with his dialogue between Ulysses and Gryllus; Lucian and Apuleius, with the ass; and some other, I know not who, with the hog that made his last will and testament, of which also even St.

These have great memories, are liable to quartan agues, and stronger sympathies of parts with each other. V. Change of temperaments into one another.

For thus several ages since, Homer wrote of no more weighty a subject than of a war between the frogs and mice, Virgil of a gnat and a pudding-cake, and Ovid of a nut Poly-crates commended the cruelty of Busiris; and Isocrates, that corrects him for this, did as much for the injustice of Glaucus. Favorinus extolled Thersites, and wrote in praise of a quartan ague.
Writers were anxious to publish in that crafty city, because its government would give no security of profit to books printed elsewhere. The mourners feasted, however; and Tasso had a quartan fever, which delayed the completion of the Jerusalem till next year.
