Note 623 — Chapter X · MODERN LATIN POETRY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
To form a notion of what Leo X. could swallow, see the prayer of Guido Postumo Silvestri to Christ, the Virgin, and all the Saints, that they would long spare this ‘numen’ to earth, since heaven had enough of such already. Printed in Roscoe, Leone X. ed. Bossi, v. 337.
