So, for example, when I
consider
the
Nature of a Triangle, it plainly appears to me (as understanding the
Principles of Geometry) that its three Angles are equal to two right
ones; And this I must of necessity think _True_ as long as I attend to
the _Demonstration_ thereof; but as soon as ever I withdraw my Mind from
the _Consideration_ of its _Proof_ (altho I remember that I have once
_Clearly_ perceived it) yet perhaps I may _doubt_ of Its _Truth_, being
as yet _Ignorant_ of a _God_; For I may perswade my self, that I am so
framed by _Nature_, as to be _deceived_ in those things which I imagine
my self to perceive most _evidently_, Especially when I recollect, that
heretofore I have often accounted many things _True_ and _Certain_, which
afterward upon other Reasons I have Judged as False.

Candide by Voltaire |
|
It was a mere con tinuation of the same process of individualizing, by which the collective mode of
fighting
was discouraged even in the diminished tactical unit and the single combat became prominent, as is evident from the (already mentioned) de cisive part played by hand-to-hand encounters and combats with the sword.

XIX
All perfection Heaven showers on us,
All
imperfection
born beneath the skies,
All that regales our spirits and our eyes,
And all those things that devour our pleasures:
All those ills that strip our age of treasures,
All the good the centuries might devise,
Rome in ancestral times secured as prize,
Like Pandora's box, enclosed the measure.

Du Bellay - The Ruins of Rome |
|
The year is divided into months; and the duties of
each month in farm, garden and house,
together
with many of its
customs, superstitions and observances, not without their value for
the antiquary and the student of manners, are set forth in rimed
four-foot anapaestic couplets (the metre of Bonnie Dundee), that
carry the modern reader along at a hand-gallop till he is ready to
drop, but must have proved very easy reading to the country
gentlemen and farmers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
