"Frater, probatæ sanctitatis æmulus, Germana curvo colla frangit sarculo:" i.e. his brother, jealous of his attested sanctity, fractures his brotherly throat with a curved hedging-bill. "Dang Irenæus!" said Toad-in-the-hole, who now rose impatiently to give the next toast: "Our Irish friends; and a speedy revolution in their mode of tooling, as well as everything else connected with the art!"
The Piazza d'Espagna is open, airy, and pleasantly situated in a high part of the city immediately under the Colla Pinciana, and adorned with two fine fountains.
