Sayfa 344 - Then sculpture and her sister-arts revive ; Stones leap'd to form, and rocks began to live ; With sweeter notes each rising temple rung; A Raphael painted, and a Vida sung.
Sayfa 345 - Stones leap'd to form, and rocks began to live ; With sweeter notes each rising Temple rung ; A Raphael painted, and a Vida sung. Immortal Vida : on whose honour'd brow The Poet's bays and Critic's ivy grow : Cremona now shall ever boast thy name, As next in place to Mantua, next in fame...
Sayfa 319 - ... them to return to the bosom of the church, formed a striking contrast to the conduct of the greater part of his ecclesiastical associates, and has led an eminent writer to express his opinion, that if there had been many like Sadoleti, the breach would not have been so widely extended. It was probably from this liberality of sentiment, that, in his Commentary on the Epistle of S. Paul to the Romans, he incurred the censure of the Roman court ; and although the prohibition was, in consequence...
Sayfa 345 - Christiad," Vida has avoided the error into which Sanazzaro has fallen in mingling the profane fables of the heathen mythology with the mysteries of the Christian religion ; and like Milton, seeks for inspiration only from the great fountain of life and of truth. Although he placed Virgil before him as his principal model, and certainly regarded him with sentiments next to adoration, as may appear from the conclusion of the third book of his Poetics, yet he knew how to fix the limits of his imitation...
Sayfa 81 - ... discussion was soon terminated to their mutual satisfaction. It was in consequence agreed that the Pragmatic Sanction should be abolished in express terms, both by the pope and the king, but that its chief provisions and immunities should be revived and extended by a contemporary act, which should invest the king with greater power in the ecclesiastical concerns of the kingdom, than he had before enjoyed. Hence arose the celebrated Concordat, by which the nomination to all ecclesiastical benefices...
Sayfa 303 - Rucellai, on account of the opposition which they had shewn to his family, he on this account postponed also the nomination of Giovanni ; but whatever was the reason of the conduct of the pope, which was probably neither of those before assigned, it is certain that it arose not from any want of esteem or confidence, as may be inferred from his despatching Rucellai, at a very important crisis, as his legate to Francis I., in which station he succeeded Lodovico Canossa, and continued until the death...
Sayfa 312 - This work, which Alamanni completed in six books, and which he appears to have undertaken rather in competition with, than in imitation of, the Georgics, is written not only with great elegance and correctness of style, but with a very extensive knowledge of the subject on which he professes to treat, and contains many passages which may bear a comparison with the most celebrated parts of his immortal predecessor. 3. " Girone il Cortese," an heroic poem in 24 cantos, Paris, 1548, 4to; Venice, 1549.
Sayfa 451 - Tandem, cum nihil possem aliud, visum est, saltem, leniuscule illis reluctari, id est, eorum dogmata in dubium et disputationem vocare. Itaque Schedulam disputatoriam edidi, invitans tantum doctiores, si qui \ client mecum, disceptare, sicut manifestum esse etiam adversariis oportet, ex Pnefatione ejusdem disceptationis.
Sayfa 301 - ... presumed, from his father's character, that he procured him the best which Florence could afford ; and it is said that he became very accomplished in the Greek and Latin languages, as well as in his own. In 1505 he was sent as ambassador from Florence to Venice. In the tumult raised by the younger citizens of Florence on the return of the Medici in 1512, and which contributed so greatly to facilitate that event, he and his brother Pallas took a principal part, apparently in opposition to the...
Sayfa 270 - He bad no pleasure in music, dancing, gaming, or hunting: his sole delight was in having nothing to do, and stretching himself at full length on his bed. His chief exercise was to eat a little, and then compose himself to sleep, and after sleep to eat again. He observed neither days nor almanacks ; and his servants were ordered to bring him no news whether good or bad. That he was not, however, so entirely devoted to indolence, as we might, from the character which he has chosen to give of himself,...
