[86] Johnson, by trusting; to his memory, has here fallen into an error. Howell, in his instructions for Foreign Travell, has said directly the reverse of what is ascribed to him: “I have beaten my brains,” he tells us, “to make one sentence good Italian and congruous Latin, but could never do it; but in Spanish it is very feasible, as, for example, in this stanza:
Infausta Graecia, tu
paris gentes
Lubricas, sed amicitias
dolosas,
Machinando fraudes cautilosas,
Ruinando animas innocentes:
which is good Latin enough; and yet is vulgar Spanish, intelligible to every plebeian.”—J. B.

[88] Therefore no hereticks desire to spread Their
wild opinions like
these epicures.
For so their staggering thoughts are computed,
And other men’s
assent their doubt assures.
