But even thus, and despitethe Injuries of Time and Ignorance, the Light of ourPoet's Merits shines with splendour sufficient to preventour envying in this Form of Poesy any strangerPeople.(Signed)FERNAO RODRIGUES LOPO SURRUPITA,Licentiate and Advocate in this Court.* 1
LYRICKS OF CAMOENS. 17NOTES,THE following lemarks upon the " Prologo " are borrowed fromvarious sources. And here I take with pleasure the opportunityof acknowledging the able and friendly assistance of my learnedfriend,^ the Petrarchist, Dr. Attilio Hortis, chief librarian to theMttseo Civico, Trieste.1Diomedes Grammaticus (before 6th century) wrote " : DeOratione et Partibus Orationis, et vario Genere MetrorurnLibri JII."ad Athanasium (Hephosstion edit. Gaisford. pp. 43142). Nicolao Perotto (Nicolaus Perottus), born in 1430 atSassoferrato ; professed Poetry and Rhetoric at Bologna 1452);was raised by Pius II. to the Archbishopric and Governorshipof Umbria, Spoleto, and Perugia, and died in 1480. Amongstmany works famous in his day, he left one " De Metris, sivede Genere Metrorum;" Venet. 1497. For further details see1Part III., Sect. I, p. 695, "Lehrbuch einer Literaturgeschichte,'by Dr. Johann G. Th. Grasse ;Dresden and Leipzig, 1837.2<strong>The</strong> well-known Benedetto Varchi, of Florence (born onMarch 19, 1503 ; died about set. 62), of the Betti and Franchifamilies, lived and laboured in troublous times, and provedhimself a firm friend of the Medici. His epitaph in the ChurchDegli Angeli, Florence, assures us that his life was spent sine21lid avaritia aut ambitiam. <strong>The</strong> text refers to the Dialoguecalled after Count Cesare Ercolano. Varchi's principal workwas the " Storia Florentina" (16 books 1523-37): he was anindefatigable sonnetteer, his productions numbering 958 ; andhis collected "Opere" fill two volumes large 8vo; Trieste,Lloyd Austriaco, 1858.3 Celio Calcagnino, of Ferrara (died in 1541), wrote chieflyupon antiquities and classical subjects his works are now more:quoted than read.Lyricksr
