Up, my eye mightily out of order with the rheum that is fallen down into it, however, I by coach endeavoured to have waited on my Lord Sandwich, but meeting him in Chancery Lane going towards the City I stopped and so fairly walked home again, calling at St. Paul's Churchyarde, and there looked upon a pretty burlesque poem, called "Scarronides, or Virgile Travesty;" extraordinary good.
"Your father was weak enough to read Virgile travesti, and laugh over it," he would, say to Louis Racine, "but he kept it dark from me." In the Lutrin, Boileau sought the gay and the laughable under noble and polished forms; the gay lost by it, the laughable remained stamped with an ineffaceable seal.
'Deja sans etre temeraire, Prenant votre vol jusqu'aux cieux, Vous pouvez egaler Voltaire, Et pres de Virgile et d'Homere. "Yes," said the king, as Voltaire ceased declaiming, and stood in rather a tragic attitude before him "yes, I confess that a sensitive nature like yours might find a thorn in these innocent rhymes.
"The expression is Boileau's, Mademoiselle, in ridicule of the 'Sot de qualite, who prefers "'Le clinquant du Tasse a tout l'or de Virgile. "But for my part I have as little faith in the last as the first." "I do not know Latin, and have therefore not read Virgil," said Isaura. "Possibly," remarked Graham, "Monsieur does not know Italian, and has therefore not read Tasso."
