The date thus assigned however, like all other statements respecting the Homeric age, is matter not of testimony, but of inference; and any one who carefully weighs the history of the Italian alphabets as well as the remarkable fact that the Italians had become acquainted with the Greek people before the name "Hellenes" had emerged for the race, and the Italians borrowed their designation for the Hellenes from the stock of the -Grai- or -Graeci- that early fell into abeyance in Hellas, will be inclined to carry back the earliest intercourse of the Italians with the Greeks to an age considerably mere remote.
For the tickno duvel was chivved a wadras 'pre the puvius like a Rommany chal, and kistered apre a myla like a Rommany, an' jalled pale the tem a mangin his moro like a Rom. An' he was always a pauveri choro mush, like we, till he was nashered by the Gorgios. "An' he kistered apre a myla? Avali. Yeckorus he putchered the pash- grai if he might kister her, but she pookered him kek.

When Gipsies have remained over night on a farm, it sometimes happens that their horses and asses inadvertently of course find their way to the haystacks or into a good field. Humanum est errare! Yeck mush can lel a grai ta panni, but twenty cant kair him pi. One man can take a horse to water, but twenty can't make him drink. A well-known proverb.
I have been told that "when a nag mullers it's hardus as a kosh, and you can pogger it like a swagler's toov," "When a blind-worm dies it is as hard as a stick, and you can break it like a pipe-stem." They also believe that the Nag is gifted, so far as his will goes, with incredible malignity, and say of him "If he could dick sim's he can shoon, He wouldn't mukk mush or grai jal an the drum."
He kistured lester noko grai adree the steeple-chase for the ruppeny kek, a sonnakai tank I think it was, but he nashered. It was dovo tano rye that yeck divvus in his noko park dicked a Rommany chal's tan pash the rikk of a bor; and at yeck leap he kistered apre the bor, and jalled right atut an' parl the Rommany chal's tan.
Yeck divvus he was kisterin' on a kushto grai, an' he dicked a Rommany chal rikkerin' a truss of gib-puss 'pre lester dumo pral a bitti drum, an' kistered 'pre the pooro mush, puss an' sar. I jins that puro mush better 'n I jins tute, for I was a'ter yeck o' his raklis yeckorus; he had kushti-dick raklis, an' he was old Knight Locke. "Puro," pens the rye, "did I kair you trash?"
"Bless mi-Duvel!" rakkered the Rommany rye shukar to his juvo, "tu and mandy have hawed mullo mass boot 'dusta cheiruses, mi-deari, but never soomed kek so wafro as dovo. It kauns worse than a mullo grai!" Boro mushis an' bitti mushis sometimes kaum covvas that waver mushis don't jin. Once a Gipsy made much money, and was very rich and a great gentleman.
The same Gipsy on a subsequent occasion, being asked what he would call a roan horse in Rommany, replied promptly "A matchno grai" a fish-horse. "Why a matchno grai?" Leastways I can't come no nearer to it, if it ain't that."
Adoi the rakli pukkered lesco it was for her rani ta jin kun'd welled a dick her. "Avali!" penned the Rommany chal; "that's the way the Gorgios mukks their patteran! We mukks char apre the drum." The grai mukks his pirro apre the drum, an' the sap kairs his trail adree the puv. "Yes!" said the Gipsy; "so that is the way the Gorgios leave their sign! We leave grass on the road."
