Good nursing will bring him round if anything can; and he gets that, I can assure your ladyship. He's my only brother, the only kith and kin that's left to me, and he and I were gay fond of each other when he was young.

He lighted a candle, and going down celler, first securing a pickax, struck into the earthen flooring, and began to work energetically. "I am sure some of the old man's money is here," he said to himself. "I must work fast, or he'll catch me at it." Half an hour later Paul Nichols re-entered the house. He looked for his nephew, but his seat was vacant.

They went up in the air, like a long-horn foolin' with the leg-throw for the first time, the other two bumped into them, the fire-faced devil-dragon slipped through, caught me full in the pantry, an' we all avalanched into the celler in one mixed up tangle. I can't describe it to you.
Under his successors and before the death of Alexander de' Medici in 1537, the violinists Pietro Caldara and Antonio Mazzini were often the objects of veritable ovations, and about the same time, 1536, at Venice, was played a piece called 'Il Sacrificio, in which violins sustained the principal parts."
