Note 193 — Chapter VIII · THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE ITALIAN STATES.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Fabroni, Laurentius Magnificus, Adnot. 205 sqq. In one of his Briefs it was said literally, ‘Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo;’ but it is to be hoped that he did not allude to the Turks. (Villari, Storia di Savonarola, ii. p. 48 of the ‘Documenti.’)
