Longus

"Ofter the Scaligers and Heinsius name, Aur Critick-Cæsars, who can raise thy fame, Great Sophist? unlesse Colledges, and the Pen Of all our best new University men, If yet in all their Libraries there be So much of the Arts left as to praise thee. Let them their Aristotle himself rehearse, And prove thy worth by Syllogisms in verse; And then Conclude, None truly can declare The Sophists praise but the great Sophister."

"For our part, may the god grant us proper detachment in depicting the story of others."
