Pagina 166 - I take to be like a tender virgin, very young, and extremely beautiful, whom divers other virgins, namely, all the other sciences, make it their business to enrich, polish, and adorn ; and to her it belongs to make use of them all, and on her part to give a lustre to them all. But this same virgin is not to be rudely handled, nor dragged through the streets, nor exposed in the turnings of the market-place, nor posted on the corners or gates of palaces.
Pagina 30 - but it is one thing to write as a poet, and another to write as a historian. The poet may say or sing, not as things were, but as they ought to have been ; but the historian must pen them, not as they ought to have been, but as they really were, without adding to or diminishing aught from the truth.
