the firft himfelfe that gave the hanfell to the engitie of his owneiivention,and althoughthis was 
crueltie in the Tyrant,yet furely {ch a workman deferved no better a reward,&juftly befiele the: 
fmart of it: For why ? The art and cunning of founderie,whichof all others ismoft civile Sagree- 
able to our nature, and which had beene emploied ordinarily in reprefenting the perfonages*of 
men and gods, this monfter of man abufed, and debafed to this vile‘and unnatural minittertesof 
tormenting man. Would one have ever thought,that after fo many wittie and worthy mea who 
had travelled in this {ciencetobring it to fome perfection, all their labours {hould twrne-in the 
end to this proofe, for to make inftruments thereby of torture ? And certes, there beeing many 
peeces of his workemanfhip, they bee kept and faved for this caufe onely,thatas many asfeethe 
fame,tmay deceft and abhorre'the wicked hand that made them.But to proceed forward to: other 
workmen in thiskind. Of Stems making are the images of Ceres, Iupeter,and Minerva,whichat 
Rome are within thetemple of Concord. The fame man tooke pleafure in counterfeiting ancient 
dames and matrons, weeping, praying and offering {acrifice.S7m#on[of A.gina]was very good at 
the making of adogand anarcher. Stratonicus that famous cutter and engraver,was never well 
but when he pourtraied fome Philofopher or other: nomore than Scopas, both the one and the 
other.As for wreftlers and champions, armed men, hunters, and facrificers, they were the onely 
workes that thefe artificers following delighted moft in,to wit, Batten Euchi Glaue des, Heliedo~ 
rus tlicanus, Leopben, Lyon, Leon, M enodorus ,Myagyius,Polycrates ,PolydorusPythocritws, & Pro-~ 
togenes(who alfo was a mott excellent & renowned painter,as I will hereafter fhew more at large) 
alfo Patrocles, Polis, Pofidomus born at Ephefus,who likewife chafedand engraved in filver molt 
finely, Periclimenus,? hilow Simenus,T imotheus,T heomneltis Timarchides ,Timon,T ifias & Thra- 
fon. But above all other,Callimachws is the workman of greateftnote, in regard of a by-name gi- 
ven unto him,and that was Cactzofechnos: and well he might be{o called,for. he would alwaiesibe 
finding fault with his owne workmanfhip,and never could fee when to make an end thinking fill 
that he had not beftowed art ynough upon that he bad under his hand. Andfo:he broughtforth 
little or nothing perfect in the end:A notable and memorable example to teach all men not to 
be over curious and exquifit in any thing,but to holda meafurein all. And there isadaunce of 
Lacedemonian women of his making: a peece of worke which he went about alfoto amend; and 
when he thought to make it better, he marred it cleane, fo that it loft all the grace it had before. 
Some fay ,that this Cadlimachws had been in former time a painter.And fince I have entred fofar 
into this Treatife of {tatues and images,I may not pafle over in filence,butnote(as it were)by tire 
way onething of Ca/o,although haply itmay be thought bur a meere vanitie:In that expedition 
or voyage wherein Cyprus was conquered and reduced under the dominion of Rome,hee made 
port-fale of all the pillage takenthere,fave only one ftatue of Zeno,notfor the excellencie of the 
matter, for it was but brafle,noryet forthe art and carious workmanship thereof, butfor that it 
was the image of a Philofopher. In this difcourfeof ftatues and images, muft not paffe by one, 
although itis not cettainely knowne who was the maker of it; and this is Hercw/es tu histhirtand
