Sermo Trentaduefimus.

*

Me nunc mente capis? respondes maxume, at ipfe

Ut non te fallat lubricans memoria, adeffum, Fortiter, in fchenas vellem tibi porgere pug

num.

Sermo Trentatriefimus.

Mufa fignora foror, non dum tua conta finerunt ?

Linquere, et ifta potes; deh nunc ad fercola

torna.

Pofitus ad tavolam, propter foccorre trippæ, Non ofes grattare caput, ftrigliare cotruz

zum:

Sit tibi malfactum fpeffas fgorgare pataccas,
Dico catarrhofas fcracco convolgere ballas.

Sermo trentaquattrefimus.

Cum fvogliata ftais, non bastant mille sfoiatæ : Non lafagnarum piattonia mille baliæ,

Ad te invogliandam, Madama Camilla Ca

mena.

Non decet ogn' unum convivæ porgere un' altro,

Quæ tenet in proprio, bocconia dulcia piatto : Sit nifi banchetto primus, fedutus ut Abbas.

Sermo Trentaquinquefimus.

Quid modo de quellis, qui cum fcrittoria laf

fant,

Egreffi baglio ad turbas, fciocchiffime portant, Defuper orecchium calamos inchioftro colantes?

Quid de quell' altris, digitis nectantibus unghias,

Per vim fputazzæ ? quid de geftantibus ore, Et fazzolettum, pappantis more lasagnas? Quid fupra banconem, de diftendentibus anchas?

Quid de tant' altris, fporgentibus undique chiappas ?

Picciola fembrabunt, forfan, ricorda taluno, Attamen infactis, aliter neggotia paffant ; Nam per picciottos, in multitudine magnos, Pocum ftimatos (errores dico) foventer, Malufus intrant, ob danneggiare creanzam;

Efto quod iftorum parvus fit quilibet error:
Uniti infiemen poffet componere magnum;
Nam plures mofchæ ragnarum retia fquarzant:
Et multi lepores poffent gabbare livreram:
Et centum paparæ poffent occidere porcum :
Et tredecim forces baftant confondere gattam.

FINIS.

Au lieu de donner, comme je l'ai généralement fait jusqu'à présent, le commencement du discours, je tranfcris ici la fin du 35ième, parcequ'il présente, en proverbes, la conclufion de l'auteur qui en a, du reste, semés abondamment dans le corps de l'ouvrage.
