Who does not remember the beautiful passage in Tasso, where the crusaders burst into tears at the sight of the holy sepulchre? "Nudo ciascuno il pie calca il sentiero, Ch'l'esempio de duci ogn' altromuove Serico fregio d'or, piuma e criniero Superbo dal suo capo ognon rimuove, E d'insieme del cor l'abito altero Depone, e calde e pie lagrime piove."
About this time he wrote the Liber Decem Problematum, and the treatise Delle Burle Calde, one of his few works written in Italian. Opera, tom. i. p. 109. The quotation from the De Sapientia differs somewhat from the original passage which stands on p. 578 of the same volume. Opera, tom. i. p. 89. In a subsequent interview with Cardan, Cassanate modifies this statement. Opera, tom. ix. p. 124.
