Reading edition
Sannazaro, as was meet in a Neapolitan, hated Alexander cordially, and was never weary of assailing his wickedness. The relations between him and his daughter Lucretia were a favorite topic—
Ergo te semper cupiet Lucretia Sextus? O fatum diri nominis! hic pater est? (Sannazar. Epigr. Lib. II.)
Humana jura, nec minus cœlestia, Ipsosque sustulit Deos: Ut silicet liceret (heu scelus) patri Natæ sinum permingere, Nec execrandis abstinere nuptiis Timore sublato simul. (Ibid.)
The well-known epigram of Pontanus tersely describes another of his vices—
Vendit Alexander sacramenta, altaria, Christum. Emerat ille prius, vendere jure potest.
