Her parents and relations were aware of my affection for her, and never showed signs of disapproving it, for they knew that my designs were honourable and virtuous; and I know that they often said as much to Leonisa, in order to dispose her to receive me as her betrothed; but she had set her heart on Cornelio, the son of Ascanio Rotulo, whom you well know a spruce young gallant, point-de-vice in his attire, with white hands, curly locks, mellifluous voice, amorous discourse made up, in short, of amber and sugar-paste, garnished with plumes and brocade.
Dates, pomegranates, and areca nuts cut up and mixed with sugar-paste pinned with cloves into a betel leaf these constituted the dessert. The Arabs ate with strict decorum, according to their custom, beginning the banquet with a Bismillah of thanks and ending with an Al Hamd that signified repletion.
Thereafter the child is regularly taken to the temple on holy days, and of course to all the big festivals, which are made delightful to young fancy by the display of toys on sale in temporary booths, and by the amusing spectacles to be witnessed in the temple grounds, artists forming pictures on the pavement with coloured sands, sweetmeat-sellers moulding animals and monsters out of sugar-paste, conjurors and tumblers exhibiting their skill.... Later, when the child becomes strong enough to run about, the temple gardens and groves serve for a playground.
Leave the unhappy being to triumph, rejoice and glory in the lot love has been pleased to bestow upon her in surrendering my heart and yielding up my soul to her. Ye love-smitten host, know that to Dulcinea only I am dough and sugar-paste, flint to all others; for her I am honey, for you aloes.
