Question: Who is Saint Prosper talking about here!?
Through the years, I have used this poem as my:
ODE TO VARIOUS JACKASSES

Prosper really hated this guy!.

“A scribbler vile, inflamed with hellish spite,
Against the great Augustine dared to Write;
Presumptuous serpent! from what midnight den
Durst thou to crawl on earth and look at men!?
Sure thou was fed on Britain’s sea-girt plains,
Or in thy breast Vesuvian sulphur reigns!.”
