Lest the son's service flag,—is reason and rhyme,

Above all when the son's a son-in-law.

Words to the wind! The parents cast their lot

Into the lap o' the daughter: and the son

Now with a right to lie there, took what fell,

Pietro's whole having and holding, house and field,

Goods, chattels and effects, his worldly worth

Present and in perspective, all renounced

In favor of Guido. As for the usufruct—

The interest now, the principal anon,
