She takes her mouse, alas !
And having purr'd, and eyed, and tapped him duly, Gives him at length the fatal coup de grace.
Leigh Hunt. * Three sixpenny-pieces.
ITALIAN SONNE TS. 1 07 CASTI. The Debt of the " Giuli Tre. " My Creditor has no such arms, as he Whom Homer trumpets, or whom Virgil sings, — Arms which dismiss' d so many souls in strings, From warlike Ilium and from Italy ; Nor has he those of later memory, With which Orlando did such loads of things ; But with hard hints, and horrid b...otherings.
And such rough ways, — with these he warreth me. And suddenly he launcheth at me, lo !
His terrible demand, the giuli tre ; I draw me back, and thrust him with a No ! Then glows the fierce resentment of the fray, Till, turning round, I scamper from the foe ; — The only way, I find, to gain the day.
Leigh Hunt.

PASTORINI.
To Genoa.
Proud city, that by the Ligurian sea Sittest as at a mirror, lofty and fair ; And towering from thy curving banks in air, Scornest the mountains that attend on thee ; Why, with such structures, to which Italy Has nothing else, though glorious, to compare, Hast thou not souls, with something like a share Of look, heart, spirit, and ingenuity ?
