In his youth, the author prayed to the moon, accompanied the procession of the bride-goddess to the various fountains and often wore a disguise for the ritual dances. No doubt faded remnants of such pagan usages linger in other parts of the world. Beza tried to correlate some of these with the Romanian customs, though casually, not because he did not appreciate the comparative method; on the contrary, he added a chapter on Scottish and Romanian ballads, which is little else but a study in parallelisms, and which shows of what advantage such a method might be.
