When Michael Angelo saw it he smiled, and asked Bramante what was to be done when he came to those holes?
Bramante had no defence to make, only replied that it could not be done any other way.

The matter came before the Pope, and Bramante replied again to the same effect.

The Pope turned to Michael Angelo and said: _"As it is not satisfactory go and do it yourself."_ Michael Angelo took down the platform, and took away so much rope from it, that having given it to a poor man that assisted him, it enabled him to dower and marry two daughters.

Michael Angelo erected his scaffold without ropes, so well devised and arranged that the more weight it had to bear the firmer it became.

This opened Bramante's eyes, and gave him a lesson in the building of a platform, which was very useful to him in the works of St.Peter's.
For all that, Michael Angelo, although he had no equal in all these things, would not make a profession of architecture.
