Fate il passo secondo il gamba don't stretch your legs farther than the bedcover goes, and don't do more, nor less, than what is right for your Marianna. Don't shut her up like a prisoner. Don't turn your house into a gaol. Asino punto convien che trotti one who has started on the road must go along.

He is a kind friend of mine, but very reserved. I am not merely to write an act for an opera, but an entire one in two acts. The poet has already completed the first act. I think it is to be called "Alexander and Roxana." Madame Jenome is also here. I am about to compose a sinfonie concertante, flute, Wendling; oboe, Ramm; French horn, Punto; and bassoon, Ritter.

In the third canto the fair Amazon Clorinda challenges her love to single combat. "E di due morti in un punto lo sfida." St. 23. "And so at once she threats to kill him twice." Fairfax. That is to say, with her valour and beauty. Another twofold employment of flame, with an exclamation to secure our astonishment, makes its appearance in the fourth canto
