She was a Genoese, and proud as the snow. Why did Giuliano love her? Did he love her, indeed? He was bewitched then, for she was cold, and a brazen creature in spite of it. How dare she bare her neck so! Oh! 'twas Genoese. "Uomini senza fede e donne senza vergogna," they quoted as they ran.
Grato m’è ’l sonno e più l’esser di sasso; Mentre che ’l danno e la vergogna dura Non veder, non sentir m’è gran ventura; Però non mi destar; deh! parla basso!

"When at his glory's topmost height," said he, "Respect of dignity all cast aside, Freely he fix'd him on Sienna's plain." CARY. Dante, Purgatory. Cant. xi. l. 133. 'How instinct varies in the grovelling swine, Compared, half-reasoning elephant, with thine. Pope, Essay on Man, i. 221.
Ah! good heavens! what can I say to you while La vergogna dura and while there is no means of removing that vergogna? Your July 28th, 1854. Did you really think for a moment that I had conceived the idea of giving concerts in order to make propaganda for myself, or to make music, or what not?
