[64] See Dedication to Nov. xi. of second part.
[65] Read, for example, the Novella of Zilia, who imposed silence on her lover because he kissed her, and the whole sequel to his preposterous obedience (iii. 17); or the tale of Don Giovanni Emmanuel in the lion's den (iii. 39); or the rambling story of Don Diego and Ginevra la Bionda (i. 27). The two latter have a touch of Spanish extravagance, but without the glowing Spanish passion. In quoting Bandello, I shall refer to Part and Novel by two numerals. References are made to the Milanese edition, Novellieri Italiani, 1813-1816.
[66] For instance, Parte ii. Nov. 14; ii. xlv.; iii. 2, 3, 4, 7, 20.
[67] See the description in ii. 36 (vol. v. p. 270); and again, iii. 61; ii. 45.
[68] ii. 2.
[69] ii. 24.
[70] See, for instance, ii. 20; ii. 7.
[71] I need not give any references to the Novelle of this groveling type. But I may call attention to i. 35; ii. 11; iv. 34, 35. These tales are not exceptionally obscene; they illustrate to what extent mere filth of the Swiftian sort passed for fun in the Italy of Bembo and Castiglione.
[72] i. 42; iii. 21; iii. 52; ii. 12.
[73] iii. 18; ii. 21; i. 36; iii. 55.
