Compare two languages here. To whom do I dedicate this charming slim volume,

just now polished with dry pumice stone?

For you Cornellius, for you were accustomed to think

that my scribblings were something.

When already at the same time, you alone

dared to unfold the whole age of Italians in three scrolls,

learned, by Jupiter, and weighty!

For that reason have for yourself whatever this little book is,

and whatever you like, oh patron maiden,

let it last a long time, for more than one generation!
