FILIPPO BALDINUCCI
I'd take the thing you count disgrace
And put it here—and here 't is put!
Did you suppose I' d leave the place
Blank therefore, just your rage to glut?

34.
"'I guess you dared not stipulate
For such a damned impertinence!
So, quick, my greybeard, out of gate
And in at Ghetto! Haste you hence!
As long as I have house and land,
To spite you irreligious chaps
Here shall the Crucifixion stand
Unless you down with cash, perhaps!'
