Masson's Milton^ iv.
321. St&post^ Milton, 162.
* * Of which all Europe rings from side to side.' Sonnets, No. xxiL On May 18 Heinsius wrote imai Leyden : — * We have seen already four editions of the book, besides the English one ; moreover a fifth edition, as Elzevir tells me, is being hurried through the press at the Hague. I see also a Dutch translation hawked about.' Masson's Milton, iv. 318.
For its widespread reputation, see ib. iv. 637 and Works, v. 20a ^ Queen of Sweden, daughter of Gu...stavus Adolphus. She gathered scholars from alt parts to her Court.
Masson's Milton, iv. 268.
^ Isaac Vossius wrote from Stod:- holm that ' in the presence of many she spoke highly ot the genius of the man [Milton], and his manner dL writing.' Ib. iv. 317.
' Milton, addressing her, wrote : — ' Quod enim erat in tyrannos dictum, negabas id ad te ullo modo pertinere.' Works, V. 225 ; vi. 395 ; Masson's Milton, iv. 345.
The lines Ad Christinatn, &C| in- Digitized by Googk MILTON ITS That Salmasius was, from the appearance of Milton's book, 70 treated with neglect, there is not much proof ; but to a man so long accustomed to admiration, a little praise of his antagonist would be sufficiently offensive, and might incline him to leave Sweden; from which, however, he was dismissed, not with any mark of contempt, but with a train of attendance scarce less than regal \ He prepared a reply, which, left as it was imperfect, was 71 published by his son in the year of the Restauration \ In the banning, being probably most in pain for his Latinity, he endeavours to defend his use of the word persona ; but, if I remember right, he misses a better authority than any that he has found, that of Juvenal in his fourth satire ; * — Quid agis [agas] cum dira & foedior omni Crimine Persona est*?' As Salmasius reproached Milton with losing his eyes in the 72 quarrel, Milton delighted himself with the belief that he had shortened Salmasius's life ; and both perhaps with more malignity than reason.
