Of what best needs for truth and happiness;

For through those borders there be plenty more

Of stock so bad, to make their venom less

By cultivation 'twere but vain to try.

Where is good Lizio? and Mainardi? Where

Pier Traversaro and Carpigna's Guy?

O Romagnuoles! what bastard shoots ye bear,

When sprouts a Fabbro in Bologna, when

Bernardin Fosco makes Faenza heir

From coarse grass to a growth of gentlemen!
