One day he hurls his javelin at a noble stag but misses his aim and the weapon is imbedded in the foot of a very lofty pine. After the ex- ample of the story of Polydorus, in Vergil, a stream of blood gushes forth from the spot where the bark was torn and a dolorosa voce tells the story of Idalagos. I will condense it: In fruitful Italy, says the voice, lies a small tract of land which the ancients called Tuscany and in the midst of it rises a little hill (/. . , Cer- taldo) whereon Eucomos (in... other words Boccaccio di Chellino) pastured his silly sheep, nor was it far from those waves which the horses BOCCACCIO AND THE NOVELLA 171 of Phoebus, having passed the meridian circle, eagerly yearn for, that they may quench their burning thirst and find repose: and thither he went and there the gentle flock of Franconarcos, King of the White Country (that is, Philip II. ) found pasturage which he watched with the greatest solicitude.
This king had a large flock of daughters with beauty adorned and in splendid costumes and one day, sent by their sire, they came with a most notable array of companions, to offer up sweet-smelling incense in a sacred temple dedicated to Minerva, which stood in an ancient forest, still rich in store of beauteous leaves and fruit.
