Here came from the borough to the town another adage, which is pretty often quoted when anybody asks in exchange for a small object, another comparatively much larger; the interested party answers: // is all beans, as wishing to denote by this proverb that it is all one, although he knows very well there is a big difference. The origin of this saying is very amusing. Uno villano del contado d'Imola, huomo grosso de ingegno e povero d'instru- mento, tolse per moglie una gar%pna molto astuta, trentoniata per tutto il paese, e tolsela il castrone per donella, mostran- dosi anchor lei quando s'accompagnb, che di piccolo cordons ben le facesse intolera- bile male, e tutti gli atti facendogli sotto che fatica et impotentia persuadere ponno. Hora il marito gli credea ogni cosa per non havere mai piu coito usato, se non a squassarse il fusto entro le macchie, e cosi passb in questa opinione parecchi giorni che havesse havuto la mogliera citela, et impacciandosi seco le facesse uno grandis- simo male di poca cosa. Hora era in questa villa un fante a piede che non vedea lume, cecato d'ambe gli occhi per certi maleficii, et havea gia conosciuta la moglie; con lo qual questo villano, anchora avanti che 'I menasse A country fellow from Imola, a thick headed man and badly furnished with tool, took for wife a cunning little lass whom the whole country had many times repassed at thirty-one; and the dunce took her for a maiden, from this that on the wedding night she pretended that he, with his short stump of a cock, caused her an insupportable pain, making under him all sorts of faces suitable to convince him of the fatigue and impossibility in which she was.

Excerpt: ... as those of the Bon Berger (Good Shepherd), by Jehan de Brie. The publishers issued twenty editions of it from 1518 to 1560, which did not prevent its becoming exceedingly rare. Renouard published at Didot, the elder''s, in 1812, a new edition which, without becoming common, is more easily had than the former ones, and the text of which, being less inaccurate, has served us for the present translation. Antonio Cornazano, the author of a work which has been in such vogue, is hardly known except through it, although he wrote several others. Like so many other laborious literati of his time, he had founded his renown on voluminous works in which he fancied that he had concentrated all his genius, and posterity reads but a few amusing pages of them, penned in his most mirthful hours. His famous poem De fide et vita Christi (On the Faith and Life of Christ) in tera rima, which overwhelmed his contemporaries with admiration and made him Dante''s equal, is now quite neglected; and the Germans, who know everything, are doubtless ignorant that, previous to Klopstock, he had composed a Messiad. His terife rime in honor of the Virgin Mary have shared the same fate, as well as his didactic poem, in nine cantos, on the art of war; the six books of Commentaries which he carefully composed in Latin, on one of the great captains of his time, Bartolommeo Coleoni, are lost among the vast compilations of Grasvius and Burmann. It is not as rival of Dante and Petrarch, nor as continuator of Vegetius and Frontinus that he has escaped from oblivion. He was born at Piacenza in 1431. A few biographers pretend that he was born at Ferrara, where he resided during the last twenty years of his life; but he himself speaks, in various parts of his works, of Piacenza as his native town, a...
