A prolific and versatile writer, he is probably best known by the English translations of his Pr�cis de Grammaire compar�e de l’anglais et de l’allemand and Pr�cis ... du Grec et du Latin.

Hear what the poet says of Jupiter, when challenging all the gods to oppose his power:—: “Let down our golden, everlasting chain, Whose strong embrace holds heaven and earth and main; Strive all, of mortal or immortal birth, By this to drag the thunderer down to earth; Ye strive in vain; if I but lift this hand, I heave the heaven, the ocean, and the land; ’T is thus I reign, supremely and above; Such are men and gods compar’d to Jove!”

Rien du monde ne peut �tre compar� � l'int�rieur de Saint Pierre.

For such I reign, unbounded and above; And such are men and gods, compar’d to Jove.”

Bet¶ter, adv.; compar. of Well.
