[570] _Works_, iii. 473.
[571] The chapter on poetry in Peacham's _Compleat Gentleman_ (1622) is interesting chiefly because of its indebtedness to Scaliger, who is called by Peacham (p. 91) "the prince of all learning and the judge of judgments, the divine Julius Caesar Scaliger." This const.i.tutes him a literary arbiter if not dictator. In the _Great a.s.sises holden in Parna.s.sus_ (1645), Scaliger is proclaimed one of the lords of Parna.s.sus, in company with Bacon, Sidney, Erasmus, Budaeus, Heinsius, Vossius, Casaubon, Mascardo, Pico della Mirandola, Selden, Grotius, and others.
