Italy then resembled ancient Greece, where arts flourished amidst domestic and foreign wars. Italy had its Thucydides in Guiccardini : he &2 nvTote the wars of his time, as Thucydides did those of Peleponnesus ; it produced its orators and dramatic geniuses even equal to Greece, the Mandragora of Machiavel being worth all the comedies of Aristophanes. Machiavel was also an historian ; and, zeithout being biassed or pre- judiced. Homer's Odyssey and Jriostoh Orlando might well be compared: the l...atter is, it is true, equally guilty with the former, of giving the reins to an intemperate imagination, and soaring to romantic incredibilities ; but for this defect he compensates, by just allegories, deli- cate satire, and a thorough knowledge of the human heart ; and by so many comic graces suc- ceeding strokes of terror, and such innumerable beauties, he has altogether formed a monster ive cannot but admire. In a fezv ages more, perhaps Homer or Tasso will be no longer placed in comparison with him.
