Les femmes illustres or The heroick harangues of the illustrious women written n French by the exquisite pen of Monsieur de Scuddery governour of Nostre Dam. Translated by James Innes.

THE EFFECT OF THIS HARRANGUE.

THis Discourse lets it be seen, that a per sua∣sive Orator, may prevaile with others: These Princesses lived, as their Mother had no desires of death; And the Gardens that Aurelian gave them for their dwelling place, and which are called to this day Tivoly, seems more pleasing to them, them the Coffine. Historie gives ac∣count that this Generous Queen was highlie esteemed by all the Roman Ladies: And that her Daughters were Married to the most Illustrious Families. It was little for their Birth, but much for their misfortune: Because these same People thought Anthonie and Titus unworthily Married, though they espoused Queens. This was a Noble thought; But it was that of the Masters of the World. And who says that, says all.
