The mass was sung by an Italian prelate, Bedini, who as governor and archbishop at Bologna had, a few years before, made himself detested throughout the length and breadth of Italy by the execution of the priest patriot Ugo Bassi; and he was now, as papal nuncio to Brazil, environed by all the pomp possible.
'Let us light the torch, said he, 'and get under shelter of the woods; a storm is coming on look at my lance. He held it forth, with the flame tapering at its point.* 'Aye, said Ugo, 'you are not one of those, that believe in omens: we have left cowards at the castle, who would turn pale at such a sight.
He wondered when Del Ferice would come to the point, and begin to talk about the new contract. "You do not seem to agree with me," observed Ugo in an injured tone. "Not altogether, I confess," replied the young man with a contemptuous laugh.
'What, she married, then, on purpose to plague the Signor? said Ugo. 'I don't know as for that, replied Bertrand, 'they said, indeed, that she had had a regard for the other gentleman a great while; but that is nothing to the purpose, she should not have married him, and then the Signor would not have been so much provoked.
Ugo Foscolo, an excellent critic where his own temper and violence did not interfere, sees nothing but jealousy in Petrarch's dislike of Dante, and nothing but Jesuitism in similar feelings entertained by such men as Tiraboschi.

Lionardo Bruni, for example, complains in the preface to his history that it is impossible to accommodate the rude names of his personages to a polished style.
And then every mother's son of them declared it was a feat that no one else in the world could have pulled off but me, and as I was nowhere to be found, it was only natural that all of them should believe the lie that Ugo told. "And now comes the maddening part of the whole business. He said that the crown jewels were gone!
He landed squarely on Nicholas's back as the fellow turned to escape. I saw the steel flash. Poor old Nick went down in a heap, letting out a horrible yell. Ugo dragged him into the room and dashed back into his own. A moment later he came out again, yelling for help. I heard him shouting that the house had been robbed, and in two seconds there was an uproar all over the place.
