By the window is a Velasquez, the first we have seen in Florence, a little Philip IV on his prancing steed, rather too small for its subject, but very interesting here among the Italians.

Another poet of whom a few lines are preserved in Gellius and Macrobius is A. FURIUS of Antium, which little town produced more than one well-known writer. His work was entitled Annals. Specimens of his versification are "Interea Oceani linquens Aurora cubile." "Quod genus hoc hominum Saturno sancte create?" "Pressatur pede pes, mucro mucrone, viro vir."
