Nicholas Machiavel was one of this kind, who had no d priori respect for anything beautiful, precious, or rare, but subjected everything to the test of man's conveniency. Lorenzo Medicis was another of this sort, though he could not help admiring the softness of fine turf and the gleam of women's white necks in shady groves. Near to him in opini...on were that simpler sort of men — x THE WORLD A GARDEN 231 like iEneas Sylvius Piccolomini of Siena, and the poet Beccadelli, and the likes of him, who would have frankly turned the world into a garden of Armida, and disported in its deliciousness so long as their senses remained quick. There were some who, in their capacity of suzerain over God, made other gods at their pleasure. Sigismund Malatesta, Lord of Rimini, was one, who, when his mistress died, made a goddess of her, just as Caesar, in the old days, had felt it his duty to do to the man in whose seat he sat, whom he had either murdered or tried to murder.
