Soon after this event , but quite disconnected from it , the minister , Don Neri Corsini , who never had given an eel-skin or the washings of tripe to friend or relative , gave to the Duchess of Conegliaro ( a lovely little woman , the wife of his nephew ) a massy piece of plate . Upon which occasion the following verses were written : and we
insert them here the more willingly , as they remove all suspicion that the handsome present came indirectly from the Levanter . They are composed , as will be seen , in the form of a dialogue , and are of that order or structure , which , in 6 Guides to Parnassus / is denominated the Doggrel .

POET , Have you been yet to see the piece Of plate Don Neri gave his niece ? If that suspicious stare says no Willing or loth you needs must go .
FRIEND . A niece as pretty as a fairy Could squeeze out nothing from Don Neri : Not an old shoe , or petticoat , Sold at his brother ' s for a groat , * When the wife died , and when the palace Fumed with the scum of stews and allies . 'Twas then Don Neri gave advice To girls he loved , how very nice An opportunity was there To spend the paul he slid elsewhere ; £ That those who bought might take his word , They soon should see some friend prefer'd . He gave advice , he gives it still ; But silver . . that he never will .
poet . Strange as the tale is I ' ve related , I saw it . . and 'twas plate . . or plated . FRIEND . Cease , miracles ! and Nature keep Thy mysteries in the earth and deep . See Imaginary Conversations / vol . i > p . 807 «—R « B- _
