Initiation Wedding Card

Canzona de' Medici Lorenzo De Confortini

Georges De La Tour Berricuocoli, women, and comfort us!
if you want, our son de 'ends.
should not teach how to do, which is
lost time, and 'the time is still great harm;
and who loses, as many do, let us then it behooves
de' pots.
When 'he' s your time, do the facts, and do not think
impediments or contamination:
who has no way, from near the captivating, and
'preston each other the good' neighbors. The
to this art is something to apprentices
enough that our Confortin 'are good. Do not wait for some one
them there gifts
behooves Giuca and spend good money.
No 'we have cards, and becomes "the basset"
and it behooves one to stand up and put the other;
and then here and there often is thrown
cards, and pulling for you, if you guess.
O "sanz'uomo" or "below" or "above" Ask, and you yearn
from her head unto his feet, finally, that is
, and when you then see
stran 'faces and moans as mucin.
who finds himself below, then anger, and makes
scontorcesi monkey's face,
that 's its leaves, rolled his eyes and sucking,
also lament the miserable and petty.
Who wins, sweetness Cavazza,
derision and sneers, and everything was splashing;
believe in luck and crazy thing: but wait
which then fold and bend. This
"basset" is disguised game,
Fassi and standing upright, and in every place;
and only has this evil, which is short, but often
bea chi ha bicchier' piccini.
Il "flusso" c'è, ch'è giuoco maladetto:
ma chi volessi pure uscirne netto,
metta pian piano, e inviti poco e stretto;
ma lo fanno oggi infino a' contadini.
Chi mette tutto il suo in un invito,
se vien "flusso", si truova a mal partito;
se lo vedessi, e' pare un uom ferito:
che maladetto sie Sforzo Bettini!
"Trai" è mal giuoco, e 'l "pizzico" si suole
usare, e la "diritta" a nessun duole:
chi ha le carte in man, fa quel che vuole,
s'è ben fornito di grossi e fiorini.
Se volete giucar, come abbiam mòstro,
noi siam contenti metter tutto il nostro
in una posta: or qui per mezzo il vostro,
sino alle casse, non che i confortini.
(Canti carnacialeschi)
