Text Appearing Before Image:
De Simia et Vulpe. 236 ANCIENT CLASSICS. (Fab Lat. et Ital. We now come to the last fac-simile; full of spirit and expression.It may serve to shew the fniitfulness of the original subject, which,for nearly three centuries and a half, has equally employed the wit ofthe commentator to explain, and of the artist to illustrate. Modernrefinement has seldom produced much more vigorous delineations ofanimals, in the outline, than the ensuing:
Text Appearing After Image:
De Lupo et Vulpe. The LXVIth, and last fable in the Volume, presents us with a terrificwood-cut of the Countryman and Pluto; the latter of whom is re-presented, in a very ungracious manner, as a fiend with horns, claws,and out-stretched wings; and better suited as a companion to thedemons in the Ars Moriendi: vide ante. Verona; 1479.) ^SOP. 237 On the recto of the leaf ensuing it, signature p. 3, is the colophon,thus: Impressvm Veronae Die XXVI IvNii. M.CCCC.LXXVIIII. Then follow some Italian pieces, entitled cantcionetta;* namely, CANZON MORALE, and AVE MARIA FATTA PER LO ANTEDITTO ACCIO : the latter of which is sufficiently singular to form a part of our text. Ve regina uirgo gloiiosa De gratia pienna come lagncl disse. ♦ It begins immediately at top, on the rev. of sign. p. 3.Cancionetta. Olume mio quel poco de argumento El qual tu spandi so che biascmatoSera per ciascum iato:Per li subietti di mortal peccati.Non te curare del suo mal talentoChe collui che non uol fir consigliato
