[Footnote 106: Two of his epigrams against Virgil, and three
against Tully, are preserved and refuted by Franciscus
Floridus, who can find no better names than Graeculus
ineptus et impudens, (Hody, p. 274.) In our own times, an
English critic has accused the Aeneid of containing multa
languida, nugatoria, spiritu et majestate carminis heroici
defecta; many such verses as he, the said Jeremiah Markland,
would have been ashamed of owning, (praefat. ad Statii
Sylvas, p. 21, 22.)]
