Settembre
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Di settembre vi do diletti tanti: falconi, astori, smerletti, sparvieri; lunghe, gherbegli, geti con carnieri, brachette con sonagli, pasto e guanti; bolz' e balestre dritt' e ben portanti, archi, strali, ballotte e ballottieri; síanvi mudati guilfanghi ed astieri nidaci e di tutt' altri uccel volanti, che fosser buoni da snidar e prendere: e l'un a l'altro tuttavia donando, e possasi rubar, e non contendere, quando con altra gente rincontrando; la vostra borsa si' acconcia a spendere, e tutti abbiate l'avarizia in bando.
