Carnival-time,--another providence!
The town a-swarm with strangers to amuse, To edify, to give one's name and fame In charge of, till they find, some future day, Cintino come and claim it, his name too, Pledge of the pleasantness they owe papa-- Who else was it cured Rome of her great qualms, When she must needs have her own judgment?--ay, When all her topping wits had set to work, Pronounced already on the case: mere boys, Twice Cineruggiolo's age with half his sense, As good as tell me, when I cross the court, "Master Arcangeli!" (plucking at my gown) "We can predict, we comprehend your play, We 'll help you save your client."
Tra-la-la!
I 've travelled ground, from childhood to this hour, To have the town anticipate my track?
The old fox takes the plain and velvet path, The young hound's predilection,--prints the dew, Don't he, to suit their pulpy pads of paw?
