(Jerome, John Baptist, and Corneille), three celebrated Latin poets of Italy, who flourished in the 16th century. Their compositions were printed at Amsterdam in 1685. One of the prettiest pieces in that collection is an epigram on two children, whose beauty was very extraordinary, though each of them was deprived of an eye:

``` Lumine Acon dextro, capta est Leonilla siuefiro; Et poterat forma vincere uterque deos. Parve puer, lunam quod habes concede forent; Sic tu exces Amor, sic erit illa Venus. ```
