Complete Poems

I admit, indeed, that the verses of Julius Scaliger seem to me harsh in their affected antiquity and difficulty, and so obscure that in many places I can scarcely grasp the syntax, and certainly not the sense; as if he did not wish what he wrote to be understood (a fault he himself objects to in Persius); or as if he wrote in such a way that he created for his readers labor and weariness rather than pleasure. M. Maittaire's judgment in Ann. Typ. Vol. III, Part I, p. 15.
