Note 385 — Chapter IV · INTELLECTUAL INFLUENCE (Continued)
George Herbert Ely translation
In 1546 Delahaye, sometime printer of Alençon, now blossomed into ‘Silvius,’ could praise Margaret for the service she had just rendered to the French mind: A coarse Cupid, he said, was reigning when true Love descended from heaven to chase him away, found hostelry with the princess, and “gently settled upon a hedge.” According to him, Margaret had succeeded in ruling the appetites, and in practically introducing philosophic love into poetry.
