She is saying to that old gentleman, 'Sir, I am extremely grateful and may Saint Nicholas bless you for it for your very great kindness in having, the day before yesterday, at your sumptuous entertainment, made me so deliciously drunk!" "You are witty, Monsieur," said I, smiling. "Se non e vero e ben trovato."
Enthusiastic advocates of the Norse discovery and settlement have confidently seen in Norumbega, the Indian utterance of Norbega, the ancient form of Norway to which Vinland was subject, and this belief has been even emphasised on a stone pillar which stands on some ruins unearthed close to the Charles River in Massachusetts. Si non é vero è ben trovato.
Bloomfield, this is not necessarily true; or, if true, need it be so openly said?" "Se non e vero, e ben trovato." "Thine for a space are they Yet shalt thou yield thy treasures up at last; Thy gates shall yet give way, Thy bolts shall fall, inexorable Past." Captain Ducie had retired for the night, and was sitting reading, when a low tap at the door roused him from a brown study.
It was disgusting, and, hoping that no one saw me, I resolved to take it out of myself the first opportunity. There is a story of Turenne, the greatest soldier of the Bourbons, which, if not true, is ben trovato. Of a nervous temperament, his legs on the eve of an action trembled to such an extent as to make it difficult to mount his horse.
Knox chid them sharply for sloth, and want of wisdom and discretion, praising highly the conduct of Lord James. They had "unreasonable minds."

Hans Christian Andersen has celebrated him in "The Improvvisatore," and unfairly attributed to him an infamous character and life; but this account is purely fictitious, and is neither vero nor ben trovato. Beppo, like other distinguished personages, is not without a history.
Ben trovato, at all events. When one looks at the pretty portrait, one cannot blame any kind of "Sultan" for feeling well-disposed towards the original. The weather has shown some signs of improvement and tempted me, despite the persistent "scirocco" mood, to a few excursions into the neighbourhood.
Therefore, he crystallized them into lines which, whilst doing credit to his wit, reveal his brutal cruelty. No one will seriously suppose that such a man would be concerned with the veracity of the matter of his verses even leaving out of the question his enmity towards the House of Borgia, which will transpire later. For him a ben trovato was as good matter as a truth, or better.
She is saying to that old gentleman, 'Sir, I am extremely grateful and may Saint Nicholas bless you for it for your very great kindness in having, the day before yesterday, at your sumptuous entertainment, made me so deliciously drunk!" "You are witty, Monsieur," said I, smiling. "/Se non e vero e ben trovato/."
A story is told of the Mirza's early life, of which it can only be said, Se non é vero é ben trovato. He left his home, accompanied by his wife and children, to seek his fortune in India, where he had some relatives at Akbar's court. His slender provision for the journey was exhausted in crossing the Great Desert, and they were all in danger of perishing from hunger.
