(Marulli Epigram. Lib. IV.)

[868] Sannazaro, as was meet in a Neapolitan, hated Alexander cordially, and was never weary of assailing his wickedness. The relations between him and his daughter Lucretia were a favorite topic—

Ergo te semper cupiet Lucretia Sextus?

O fatum diri nominis! hic pater est?

(Sannazar. Epigr. Lib. II.)

Humana jura, nec minus cœlestia,

Ipsosque sustulit Deos:

Ut silicet liceret (heu scelus) patri

Natæ sinum permingere,

Nec execrandis abstinere nuptiis
