cum arte et elegantia quondam exercuisse (viri singulari virtute
cumulatissimi) nemo est qui nesciat. Contenit siquidem ipsa mediocritate,
domos et habitacula magno sine luxu et splendore construebant et
inhabitabant. Eo tandem est perventum, ut ingeniis plusculum iam
expergefactis fiant et adstruantur ædificia passim non incelebria. Nempe
ab illo tempore quo magnanimus ille Rex, totius Italiæ terror, Carolus
Octavus, non sine magna gloria victor Neapoli rediit, ars ipsa ædificandi
sane quamvenusta, Dorica et Ionica, item Italica, totam hic apud
Galliam exerceri cœpit bellissime. Ambasiæ, Gallioni, Turoniæ, Blesis,
Parrhisiis et aliis centum nobilibus locis, publice et private conspicua
iam ædificia cernere licet antiqualia. Licet, inquam, adeo nitida et
ad unguem exculpta dispicere multa, ut non modo Italos, imo Dores et
Iones, Italorum magistros, ipsi Galli vincere videantur et iudicentur
manifestissime. Rebus huiusmodi et ingeniis tam excellenter florentibus
optimum esse duxi rem admodum utilem non ingratus obferre, diligensque
superaddere, Leo Baptista Albertus, author in architectura et familiaris
et luculentus, apud me quasi sopitus delitescebat. Visus est dignissimus
qui tempestive iam pro claris et melioribus ingeniis oblectandis et
adiuvandis in Gallia daretur impressioni. Dignissimus, inquam, visus est
mihi, et eo maxime, quod et libri ipsi decem, quibus totum opus constat,
per capita sunt distincti. Ipsa capita vir bonis literis eruditus Robertus
Duræus Fortunatus, meus apud suum collegium Plesseiacum Parrhisiis quatuor
annos quibus docebam olim primarius, accurate et diligenter digessit,
mihi exscribenda non gravate dono dedit. Exscripsi opusque totum,
insuper elimavi, mendis quamplurimis defecavi, succum textus in margine
transcripsi, chalcographo imprimendum dedi. Sinite, oro, viri Biturigum

_Godofredus Torinus Bituricus Philiberto Baboo, viro modestissimo,
S. P. D._
Itinerarium multis iam annis, vir ornatissime, situ propemodum obsitum,
quum ab amico michi semper excolendo Christophoro Longuolio, viro sine
controversia studiorum omnium bonorum excellentissimo, iam ab hinc
quatuor annos commodo primum exscribendum accepissem, unum tibi manu mea
scriptum, forma quidem non usque quaque ineptum, ad te ex Parrhisiis in
Turoniam mittere venerat in mentem. Viro cuius etiam nomini lubens parco
ad te dederam portandum; verum ipse alii nescio cui, te, me, et sua fide
posthabitis, satis impudenter dono dedit. Labore meo sic ego frustratus,
alterum tibi conscribere maturabam, nisi ipse Longuolius, qui exemplar
iam olim ex Morinis adportaverat, et michi, ut dixi, commodo dederat,
nuper ex Pictavis Parrhisios adveniens, monuisset imprimendum curarem.
Curavi equidem, nominibus opidorum seiunctim et seriatim coordinatis,
additis etiam suo loco plusculis aliter in altero exemplari scriptis.
Feci et indicem, quo facillime quodcumque opidi et loci nomen in toto
opere disquiri possit. Mirabitur fortassis aliquis ipsius operis stilum,
interdum etiam nonnullis in locis latinitatem. Stilum ipsum satis
laudabit studiosus; latinitatem vero antiquæ illi ætati lector non
malivolus condonabit. Multa subemendassem Ptholomeo, Strabone, Dionysio,
Mela, Plinio, Solino et authoribus aliis aliquot non omnino aspernandis
usus, sed et authori augusto reverentiam, et exemplari admodum vetusto
synceritatem observans, nichil immutare volui, Longuolii mei in aliud
tempus studia vigilantissima, vel alicujus Hermolai limam exactissimam
expectans. Unum est quod hic tangere non verebor, authoris nomen in
exemplari fuisse meo judicio imperfectum (nam et Antoninus Augustus
inscribitur). Ab Hermolao, viro alioqui nitido, Antoninus multis in locis
apud suas in Plinium castigationes allegatur. Viderint qui legent. In
textu exemplar ipsum secutus sum. In inscriptione libri Hermolaum sum
imitatus. Laborem meum quantulumcumque tibi (ut debeo), animo nequaquam
ingrato, nuncupatim dico. Suscipe, oro, qua fronte et optima quæque soles,
et permitte studiosissimorum quemque per insignes mille urbes, te duce,
cum hoc itinerario venire. Vale, studiorum meorum succollator humanissime.

_Torinus lectori salutem._
Quo melius hoc Itinerario, iucunde lector, possis uti, admonendus es
quæcumque virgula miniacea notata deprehendes ea plura fuisse apud vetus
exemplar quam in altero recenti; quæ autem in ipso recenti diversa
legebantur minutula litera et ipsa quidem rubra suis locis sunt super
impressa. Quandocumque hujus modi signum ʌ interlegendum occurret, dictio
vel numerus eodem signo supra vel juxta notatus esse debet. Ilud etiam in
textu multis in locis hoc modo scriptum mpm. significat milia plus minus.
Scriptum est autem sic ne tam frequens et longula repetitio lectorem tedio
afficeret. In indice nonnumquam b. literam solam, post vel inter chartarum
numeros, invenies: ea significat dictionem ipsam bis ad minimum eadem in
charta posse inveniri. Vide ergo, et gratus attende, quod si quos hanc
nostram diligentiam non amare videas, Persianum illis hoc apud te dicas:
'Virtutem ut videant, intabescantque relicta.' Hoc ideo scribo quoniam
inter imprimendum quidam nichil tale intelligentes de more damnabant.
Vale et vive diu fœlix.

Ergo hinc ergo procul manus profanæ

_Torinus lectori felicitatem._
Hasce plusculas recognitiones, lector optime, oro non admirare. Sic eas ab
exemplari vetere diversas collegi, ut tibi non pigra manu librum emendare
possis. Errores chalcographis imponerem; sed ars ipsa prelaria suopte more

_Torinus ad Librum._
I, Liber, ad vatum penetralia sacra piorum;
Es facilis, tersus, candidus, atque probus.
Exornatus habes nardosque, rosasque, crocosque,
Cum Phœbo et latias numina grata Deas.
Ne vereare Deos tecum vectare faventes,
Spirantem lauros te super astra ferent.
_Agnes Torina, virguncularum modestissima suavissimaque, de tumulo
viatorem alloquitur._
Qui levibus transis pedibus, dilecte viator,
Siste parum; ecce, tibi dicere pauca libet.
Vive memor leti, viciis abstersus, et illam
Spem tibi vivendi, si sapis, abjicito.
Ore nites hodie pulchro, sed stamine secto
Protinus in nihilum te impia Parca rapit.
Hoc experta scio, quoniam virguncula nuper
Annos nata decem rapta repente fui.
Ut rosa florebam sociis virtutibus illis
Quæ cerni in tenera virginitate solent.
Sed tamen interii crudelibus obruta fatis,
Iam data carnivoris vermibus esca meis.
Vermibus esca meis iaceo data, non tamen usque
Usque adeo exanguis quin tibi vera loquar.
Ore loquor latio, nec mirum, candide amice,
Filia nam vatis sum memoranda pii.
Imbutam ausonia cupiens me reddere lingua
Artibus et pariter me decorare bonis,
Nocte dieque docens, pater ut charissimus, ipse
Fundamenta mihi dulcia et ampla dabat.
Docta forem celebres nimirum amplexa camænas,
Et canerem blandis carmina pulchra modis.
Oscula chara mihi genitor meus inde dedisset,
Imponens capiti laurea serta meo.
O miseras hominum sortes! O vota caduca!
In terris nihil est quod solidum esse queat.
Non solum miseris mortalibus obvia mors est,
Sed tacito insidians clam subit ilia pede.
Ah! caveas igitur, caveas moriture, profecto
Omnia sub modico tempore lapsa ruunt.
Tu dum vivis adhuc, magnos dum quæris honores,
Instabili[558] et rapide pergis obire gradu.
Si contentus abis hoc uno denique certo
Consilio, et tu me dicere vera putas,
Sparge mihi flores, violas et lilia, nardos;
Funde preces etiam, si placet, et lachrymas.
Me facies superum precibus conscendere ad axem,
Lux ubi perpetua est, pax et amœna quies.
Hoc erat exiguum quod ego te scire volebam,
Vive memor leti, mox periture. Vale.
Obiit ubi erat nata, Parisiis, xxv augusti,

Est de me. Iuvenes mors rapit atque senes.
P. Parcere non possum diris nec planctibus. Eia!
Debueram in mortem iustius ire prior.
F. Sic fore non placuit fatis cœlestibus. Ad me,
Crede mihi, certo funere tu venies.
P. Interea manibus violas et lilia plenis
Ad tua demissa fronte sepulchra feram.
F. Adde preces, precibus supera ad convexa volabo:
Astra piæ faciunt scandere celsa preces.
P. Est ut ais, tu gnata etiam pro patre precare,
Scilicet ut tecum sidera læta petat.
F. Sidera læta petes curis exemptus amaris,
Omnibus et mentis sordibus expositis.
P. Vera mones, et sic faciam. Deus optimus ad se
Te vocet in cœlum. Filia chara, vale.

Hanc urnam et tumulum quin prius aspicias.
V. Quis tu?
G. Sum Genius.
V. Quid vis tibi?
G. Pauca vicissim
Hic cupio tecum dicere, amice.
V. Placet.
G. Virgineam vatem fatis crudelibus haustam
Aspice ut hæc in se fictilis urna tenet!
V. Annos quot vixit?
G. Bis quinque.
V. Canebat et ilia
Docta modos?
G. Sic est.
V. Tu mihi mira canis.
G. Scribebat dulci genialia carmina versu,
Sponte sua modulans, sponte suapte canens.
V. Naturae o rarum decus! o manifesta Deorum
Gloria, quod vates ilia tenella foret?
G. Carmen erat quicquid casu proferre volebat,
Quicquid et optabat dicere carmen erat.
V. Unde illi tantæ frugis veniebat origo?
G. Sedibus a superis, unde venire solet.
V. Ut divina igitur versus faciebat amœnos?
G. Ut divina, sui et iussa secuta patris.
V. Illius an etiam genitor modulamina tractat?
G. Tractat, et est vates candidus atque probus.
Est probus et facilis, tersus, florensque, decensque.
Est quem divino carmine Musa beat.
V. Mecenate aliquo certe dignissimus ille est.
G. Mecenas Franco rarus in orbe viget.
Nemo hodie ingenuas donis conformibus artes
Aut fovet, aut ulla sorte fovere parat.
Non est in pretio probitas, nec candida virtus.
Infelix adeo regnat Avaricia.
Fraus, dolus et vitium prestant; virtutibus omne
Postpositis miserum serpit ubique nephas.
V. Quid facit ille igitur Musis excultus amœnis?
G. In propria gaudet vivere posse domo.
V. Ad reges alacri deberet tendere passu.
G. Non curat, quoniam libera corda gerit.
Isti nonnunquam gaudent spectare potentes
Carmina, sed quid tum: nictibus illa beant.
Deberent gemmis auroque rependere puro
Aurea de superis carmina ducta polis.
Sed potius fatuis, nebulonibus atque prophanis
Contribuunt stulti grandia dona leves.
V. Ille suam natam studiis ornabat honestis?
G. Ornabat studiis, artibus atque bonis,
V. An quoque et illa libens patris præcepta tenebat?
G. Nil magis optabat quam patris ora sequi.
V. O quam grandis honor patriæque patrique fuisset
Integra si vitæ munia adepta foret!
G. Nimirum Francis in sedibus illa puellas
Ante omneis alias gloria prima foret.
Insignis facie, vultu formosa modesto,
Moribus et dictis aurea tota bonis.
Ad se corda hominum, iuvenumque, senumque trahebat
In sua constanti vota sequenda fide.
V. Mira mihi dicis?
G. Dico tibi vera, viator.
Ingenuæ speculum nobilitatis erat.
V. O nimis immensus dolor! o dolor asper et angor!
Tam rapido talem posse perire gradu!
Quid pater interea faciet?
G. Mœstissimus ipse
Cordolium et lachrymas perferet assiduas.
V. Ille preces melius superis cœlestibus amplas
Funderet et precibus iungeret exequias.
G. Exequias precibus iungitque fovetque perennes,
Implet et assuetos fomite et ignefocos.
V. O tam plausibili virguncula digna parente!
O etiam tali stirpe beate pater!
G. Illa modo lætis in nubibus alma refulget,
Ut jubar exortum, sidus ut aureolum.
V. Æthereis fulgens in sedibus illa triumphet,
Et patrem secum filia grata trahat.
G. In rem vade tuam, si vis modo abire, viator:
Hæc sunt quæ volui dicere. Amice, vale.
V. Sis felix tumuli custos, urnæque retector;
In rem vado meam sedulus et properus.

Sparge rosas, lauros, violas, nardumque, crocumque,
Et genio indulge tota iocosa tuo.
Sed videas etiam ne tu gens optima cesses
Ante Deum laudes accumulare pias;
Si canis usque Deo laudes, et phana frequentas,
(Crede mihi), pacis commoda longa feres;
Aurea sub facili spectabis secula cœlo,
De terra et felix aurea farra metes.
Adde quod et pariter fies gens aurea tota.
Perge igitur summo sacra iterare Deo.

Hostibus et diris casibus eripui.
Linquo tibi gnatum cœlesti numine regem,
In pulchra qui te, me duce, pace fovet.
Te penes in gremio lætus sua pignora cernit,
Orbem quæ totum sub tua sceptra dabunt.
Reginam virtutis habes et pacis alumnam,
Sidere felici quæ tua fata beat.
Altera et una tibi est etiam regina sacrati
Quæ soror est regis et benesuada tui.
Principibus tantis non est tibi, chara, gemendum,
Gallia! tu felix talibus es ducibus.
Ipsa ego te prorsus moriens non desero, nanque
Immortale meum tu modo nomen habes.
Semper apud superum pro te devota Tonantem

Sparge mihi lauros, violas, nardosque crocosque;
Stracte (_sic_) etiam flores, lilia, serta, rosas;
His super adiungas summiscum laudibus hymnos,

to me, dated in 1489, informs us that this Jean Thory lived on rue aux
Vaches, in Faubourg Saint-Privé; so that it was on that street that
Geofroy was born. 'Now,' M. Boyer writes me, 'as that street contains
only two houses, I am inclined to select as the house in question the
one designated by the name of _maison du perron_, because of a stoop
(_perron_) with a wooden roof which is still preserved, and which is
accounted for by the proximity of the river.' I saw the house in 1856; it
still belongs to the Toubeau family, which tends to confirm M. Boyer's
opinion.]

Records; minutes of Jean Dujat, notary, 1507.]
[Footnote 503: [See supra, p. 44.]]
[Footnote 504: On the first page of both books are the words: 'Biturigis,
apud Bonaventuram Thorinum, sub signo Anchoræ, vico Maiore, 1595'; and
at the end: 'Excusus fuit hic liber typis viduæ Nicolai Levez, Avarici
Biturigum, juxta scholas utriusque juris.' (Bibliothèque Nationale.) The
first alone contains a license to print (dated August 29, 1595). Therein
the publisher is called, in French, 'Thorin,' the natural rendering of
the Latin name that we find in the 'note to the reader,' where the form
'Torinus' occurs four times, and 'Thorinus' once only; which confirms my
hypothesis relative to the descent of this bookseller of Bourges. For we
have seen that Tory wrote his name Torinus in Latin. I must not omit to
mention one objection suggested by a friend of mine at Bourges,--that our
man is called Bonaventure _Thorin_, in a book of imposts for the year
1588. But every one knows how irregular the spelling of names was in the
old days.]
[Footnote 505: May not Tory's son have had for his godfather Bonaventure
des Périers, who committed suicide in 1544, in order to avoid a
prosecution on account of his religion?]
[Footnote 506: This book, which bears a French title, _Lesclaircissement
de la langue françoise_, although written in English and for the English,
was printed at London shortly after the publication of Tory's _Champ
fleury_. M. Génin issued a second edition in 1852, quarto, Paris,
Imprimerie Nationale.]
[Footnote 507: Read 'Tory'; letters transposed.]
[Footnote 508: Read 'Bourges.' The error is due to the fact that the
London printers were much more familiar with Bruges, where Caxton, their
first master, lived a long while before he introduced printing in England,
than with Bourges in Berry. (See my book on the _Origin of Printing_, vol.
ii, pp. 347 ff.)]
[Footnote 509: See what I have myself said on this subject, supra, p. 17.]
[Footnote 510: In order to be fair to everybody I am bound to say that M.
Génin's reckoning is at fault. Henry VIII having succeeded to the throne
on April 22, 1509, the twenty-second year of his reign extends from April
22, 1530, to April 21, 1531, and consequently the license cited here must
have been dated September 2, 1530, that is to say, a month and a half
after the printing of Palsgrave's book was finished.]
[Footnote 511: Say a year and a half, in consequence of the correction
suggested in the preceding note. However, Tory had announced a year
earlier the _Reigles de lorthographe du langaige françois._ See supra, p.
100.]
[Footnote 512: Vol. iv, fol. 320 recto. MSS. folio preserved at the
Library of the École de Médecine in Paris.]
[Footnote 513: [See supra, pp. 55 and 65.]]
[Footnote 514: [See supra, pp. 69 and 44.]]
[Footnote 515: [See supra, p. 96.]]
[Footnote 516: The necessity of distinguishing between the final _e_
which requires the acute accent (_aveuglé_) and that which does not
take it (_aveugle_) led to calling the former _masculine_ and the other
_feminine_. Hence the term 'feminine' still given in French poetry to mute
rhymes.]
[Footnote 517: In the fourth edition of the _Manuel de Libraire_; he
does mention it in the fifth edition, however, citing me. It is not
mentioned either in the _Essai sur la Vie et les Ouvrages de Marguerite
d'Angoulême_, by M. de Lincy, prefixed to his edition of the _Heptameron_,
which was published by the Société des Bibliophiles Français in 1853-54. I
describe it from a copy owned by M. Ferdinand Denis.]
[Footnote 518: The original text of these letters may be found in my book,
_Les Estienne et les types grecs de François Iᵉʳ_; I give here only a
translation borrowed from M. Crapelet, _Études pratiques_, p. 89.]
[Footnote 519: By an inexplicable blunder M. Crapelet has thought fit
to render the two words 'Gallicæ reipublicæ,' _republic (of letters)_,
failing to understand that the word 'respublica' stands for the State. It
is needless to say that he has been followed by many others, particularly
M. Duprat in his 'Histoire de l'Imprimerie impériale,' 1861.]
[Footnote 520: I borrow this fragment from M. Crapelet (_Études
pratiques_, p. 116), for I have been unable to inspect the volume from
which he took it, although he gives an interesting description of it.]
[Footnote 521: [_Lettre à_ or _sur double queue_, letters on which the
seal is suspended from a strip of parchment passed through the document.]]
[Footnote 522: See what I have to say in the Preface on the subject of
Pierre le Rouge, who is given the title of king's printer once, in 1488.]
[Footnote 523: The dates that I give are those of the holding of the
office of _king's printer_, and not of the carrying on the trade of
printer, which, as a general rule, do not coincide, at least so far as the
earlier dates are concerned.]
[Footnote 524: Brunet, _Manuel de Libraire_, 5th edit., vol. ii, col.
1672.--See infra, p. 307 _King's Printers for the Mathematics_.]
[Footnote 525: He calls himself 'architypographus regius' in a work
printed by him in 1608.]
[Footnote 526: See the _Recette générale des finances_ of Paris for 1671,
in the national archives, KK. 356, fol. 53.]
[Footnote 527: See my _Les Estienne_, p. 35.]
[Footnote 528: Renouard, _Annales des Estienne_, 3d edit., p. 228, col. 1.
See also my _Les Estienne_, p. 36.]
[Footnote 529: This appointment involved him in some difficulty with his
colleagues, as may be seen from the following letter, of which I found a
copy in the Bibliothèque du Louvre, in the Nyon collection.
'When I asked and obtained the office of king's printer, of which M. Le
Breton had been deprived by death, I had no idea that it could cause
any heart-burning on the part of my confrères, with whom I have always
earnestly desired to be on the best of terms. If I had been able to
foresee such a thing, I am too much a friend of peace to have voluntarily
exposed myself to it by assuming a title which was subject to dispute.
But, monsieur, when I submitted the question to you, I thought that I
could see that it did not seem to you free from doubt. For this reason I
cannot hesitate to abandon claims which seem to me well-founded.
'I beg you therefore, monsieur, to regard as not having been made the
claims that I put forward on this subject, and as my confrères do not
pretend that any one of them has the right to style himself first king's
printer, in like manner I agree to assume simply the title of ordinary
printer to his Majesty, and that we shall be placed in the _Almanack
Royal_ in the order of our reception.
'Paris, 20 November, 1779.
PIERRES.'
For this famous printer, see Lottin, _Catalogue des Imprimeurs de Paris_,
vol. ii, p. 139.]
[Footnote 530: For this paragraph, see my _Les Estienne_.]
[Footnote 531: He is mentioned as 'imprimeur du roi,' without other
description, in the registers of the cemetery of Les Réformés de la
Trinité, rue Saint-Denis; but I think that he was simply an engraver on
copper, like Tavernier.]
[Footnote 532: [Clearly a misprint; perhaps 1561.]]
[Footnote 533: He had been in business since 1784.]
[Footnote 534: He had been in business since 1813.]
[Footnote 535: He had been in business since 1785.]
[Footnote 536: There were royal printers in various cities of France after
the latter part of the sixteenth century; but the office was neither
regularly instituted nor general in its scope. These printers seem to have
had it specially in charge to print official documents in the provinces,
which function conferred on them certain privileges, and sometimes caused
difficulties with the local authorities, who also had their special
printers. The first editions of the edicts, ordinances, etc., emanating
from the central authority were afterwards placed in the hands of the
royal printing-office in Paris. See what I have to say on this subject in
my work on _Les Estienne_, p. 56.
In 1844 M. Le Roux de Lincy published in the _Journal de l'Amateur de
livres_, and also had printed separately in an octavo pamphlet of 16
leaves, a compilation entitled: _Catalogue chronologique des imprimeurs et
libraires du roi, par le père Adry_; but those shapeless memoranda were
not originally intended for printing, and I have been unable to obtain the
slightest particle of useful information from them.]
[Footnote 537: Archives, reg. KK, 99, fol. 116 verso. '_Librairie._--To
maistre Jean de Sansay, _libraire ordinaire_ to the King our Sire, the
sum of two hundred forty livres tournoys, ordered [to be paid] to him by
our said lord and his warrant, for his wages as _libraire ordinaire_ to
our said lord, [said office being held] by him during this present year
beginning the first day of January a thousand five hundred twenty-eight
[1529 n. s.], and ending the last day of December following, a thousand
five hundred twenty-nine, of which sum this present clerk has made payment
to the said Sansay by virtue of said warrant, as appears by his receipt
signed at his request by Mᵉ Huault, notary and secretary to the King,
the twenty-third day of January in the year a thousand five hundred
twenty-nine now current. For the said sum of IIᶜ XL l.
t.']
[Footnote 538: Brunet, _Manuel de Libraire_, 5th edit., vol. ii, col.
1672.]
[Footnote 539: Was this Jehan Estienne of the family of the great
printers? I am unable to say. He is not mentioned in any of their
genealogies, nor is the Gommer Estienne, whom I have referred to in my
_Les Estienne_.]
[Footnote 540: The name is left blank at the beginning of the original
document, and the signature is very doubtful. But the name _Burgensis_ or
_Bourgeois_, is very common at that period. François I had a physician
called Louis Burgensis.]
[Footnote 541: _La Renaissance des Arts_, vol. i, p. 973.]
[Footnote 542: Ibid., p. 925.]
[Footnote 543: That is to say, to _goffer_.]
[Footnote 544: This volume is without date, but the license to print is
dated February 23, 1539 (1540, n. s.).]
[Footnote 545: [See supra, p. 138.]]
[Footnote 546: _Salutem dicit perpetuam._]
[Footnote 547: Read _Avaricum_.]
[Footnote 548: The book has _potuit_, but the errata informs us that we
should read _possit_.]
[Footnote 549: The book has _adiiecimus_.]
[Footnote 550: The book has _quandoquidam_, but the errata corrects the
error.]
[Footnote 551: The book has _i._, which, the Middle Ages, stood for _id
est_.]
[Footnote 552: Should we not read _manent?_]
[Footnote 553: In the errata it is said that we should read _debebat_, but
that word does not fit the metre.]
[Footnote 554: _Claud._, XV, 385: 'Minuit præsentia famam.']
[Footnote 555: Plautus, _Casine_, act. V, sc. IV, v. 1: Ubi tu
es, qui colere mores Massilienseis postulas.]
[Footnote 556: Should we not say _daret_, or, rather, _dares?_]
[Footnote 557: Read _quo_. At the best this verse is halting.]
[Footnote 558: The book has _Istabili_. It was impossible to place the
sign of abbreviation over the capital I.]
