I think a burglar might run from Rialto to San Marco, and not one compassionate soul in the Merceria would do aught to arrest him povareto! Thieves came to the house of a friend of mine at noonday, when his servant was out.
"So che andar diritto mi bisogna, Ch' io non ci mescolassi una bugia, Che questa non è storia da menzogna; Che come in esco un passo de la via, Chi gracchia, chi riprende, e chi rampogna: Ognun poi mi riesce la pazzia; Tanto ch' eletto ho solitaria vita, Che la turba di questi è infinita.

At dawn the little wild bird, the cep plót, broke the silent air with its characteristic and shrill ci ti ri
But here it seemed as if eyes, strange, were glancing up to me flower eyes, basilisk eyes, peacock's eyes, maiden's eyes; in many places it looked yet brighter.

They both think I'm a cipher. I am a cipher. But they've made me one. Get so discouraged, then go break over like this. Promised Flo never would take another drink. But it's no use. Can't help myself. I'm done for. Just a cipher, a cipher, a ci "
How that little busy B. improved each shining hour, how neatly he laid his wax, it gives us a cold shiver to think of ancora ci raccappriccia!
