	Virgil - LoveToKnow 1911
		VIRGIL (PUBLIUS VERGILIUS MARO), the great Roman poet, was born on the 15th of October in the year 70 B.C., on a farm on the banks of the Mincio, in the district of Andes, not far from the town of Mantua.
		Virgil brought the two great instruments of varied and continuous harmony and of a rich, chastened and noble style to the highest perfection of which the Latin tongue was capable.
		Virgil made for the emperor a castle in which he could see and hear everything done or said in Rome, an ever-blooming orchard, statues of the tributary princes which gave warning of treason or rebellion, and a lamp to supply light to the city.

	Polydore Virgil - LoveToKnow 1911
		Polydore was born at Urbino, is said to have been educated at Bologna, and was probably in the service of Guido Ubaldo, duke of Urbino, before 1498, as in the dedication of his first work, Liber Proverbiorum (April 1498), he styles himself this prince's client.
		Polydore's Adagia (Venice, April 1498) was the first collection of Latin proverbs ever printed; it preceded Erasmus's by two years, and the slight misunderstanding that arose for the moment out of rival claims gave place to a sincere friendship.
		Polydore's duty is to state the problems and supply the historical illustrations; his friend's to explain, rationalize and depreciate as best he can.

		HAS not Virgil violated the immutable laws of common sense, which exist in full force in all ages, and in all countries, by his strange miracles, which, Marville says, are not less insupportable than those which the ancient chroniclers relate...
		Virgil can be defended from a censure, which attacks at once the poet and the man. Several eminent critics (observes Menage) are much surprized that Virgil, in his sixth book of the Æneid, describing the Laurel Grove which he has assigned for the residence of the Poets, makes no mention of Homer.
		Virgil is fallen into a gross error, when he compares Orpheus deploring the loss of his beloved Eurydice with the Nightingale who regrets the loss of her young.

	Carmine Pastorali
		In this Theocritus and Virgil are admirable, and excellent, the others despicable, and to be pittied; for they being enfeebled by the meanes of their subject, either creep, or fall flat.
		Virgil keeps himself up by his choice and curious words, and tho his matter for the most part (and Pastoral requires it) is mean, yet his expressions never flag, as is evident from these lines in his Alexis:
		Virgil and Theocritus have given us examples; for tho Theocritus hath in one Idyllium mixt other Numbers, yet that can be of no force against all the rest; and Virgil useth no Numbers but Heroick, from whence it may be inferr'd, that those are the fittest.

	Letter to a Friend.
		Plato will tell us, that there was no such disease as a catarrh in Homer's time, and that it was but new in Greece in his age.
		Polydore Virgil delivereth that pleurisies were rare in England, who lived but in the days of Henry the Eighth.
		New discoveries of the earth discover new diseases: for besides the common swarm, there are endemial and local infirmities proper unto certain regions, which in the whole earth make no small number: and if Asia, Africa, and America, should bring in their list, Pandora's box would swell, and there must be a strange pathology.

	The Rosicrucians: Part II: Chapter VII: Rosicrucian Origin of the Order of the Garter
		In regard to the story of the Countess of Salisbury, and her garter, we shall insert the judgment of Dr. Heylin, who took great pains to ascertain its foundation.
		There was no mention of this supposed picking up of a garter for 200 years, nor was there anything referring to such an origin occurring in any of our historians other than Sir John Froissart, until Polydore Virgil took occasion to say something of it in his notices of the origin of the Order.
		Polydore does not mention whose garter it was; this he cautiously declines to do.
