Genealogy is not my science. If you shouldclaim to descend in a direct line from King Midas I would not dispute it.
_Virgil_. --I wonder, Scaliger, that you stooped to so low an ambition. Was it not greater to reign over all Mount Parnassus than over a pettystate in Italy?
_Scaliger_. --You say well. I was too condescending to the prejudices ofvulgar opinion. The ignorant multitude imagine that a prince is agreater man than a critic. Their folly made me desire to claim kindredwith the Scalas of... Verona.
_Horace_. --Pray, Mercury, how do you intend to dispose of this augustperson? You can't think it proper to let him remain with us. He must beplaced with the demigods; he must go to Olympus.
_Mercury_. --Be not afraid. He shall not trouble you long. I brought himhither to divert you with the sight of an animal you never had seen, andmyself with your surprise. He is the chief of all the modern critics, the most renowned captain of that numerous and dreadful band. Whateveryou may think of him, I can seriously assure you that before he went madhe had good parts and great learning.
