Сторінка 408 - Sublime specchio di veraci detti, Mostrami in corpo e in anima qual sono : Capelli, or radi in fronte, e rossi pretti ; Lunga statura, e capo a terra prono ; Sottil persona in su due stinchi schietti ; Bianca pelle, occhi azzurri, aspetto buono ; Giusto naso, bel labro, e denti eletti...
