the palace of the Urfini. It takes its name from a cob- 
ler of that city, called Pafquin, famous for his fneers and 
gibes, and who diverted himfeif by palling his jokes on 
all who went by his (hop. He foon became famous ; apd, 
had he had time to publijh, he w'ould have been the Pe¬ 
ter Pindar of his day. But his genius feems to have been 
fatisfied to reft on his (hop-board. Some time after his 
death there was found under the pavement of his.(hop 
the ftatue of an ancient gladiator, well cut, but maimed 
and half-fpoiled : this they let up in the place where it 
was found, and by common confent infcribed it with his 
name. Since that time all fatires are attributed to that 
figure ; and are either put into its mouth, orpafted upon 
it, as if they were written by Pafquin redivivus; and thefe 
are addrefled by Pafquin to Marforio, another ftatue at 
Rome. When Marforio is attacked, Pafquin comes to 
his affiftance; and, when Pafquin is attacked, Marforio 
aftifts him in his turn ; that is, the people make the fta- 
tues fpeak juft what they pleafe. 
Marforio’s is a ftatue that lies at its whole length, 
and in a different quarter of the city. It reprefents, ac¬ 
cording to fome, the Panarian Jove; according to others, 
the river Rhine, or the Nar; but the origin of the name 
is not known. Curiofities of Lit. vol. i.
