This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: JANUARY M A Y. THERE liv'd in Lombardy as authors write In days of old, a wife and worthy knight; Of gentle manners, as of gen'rous race, Bleft with much fenfe, more riches, and fome grace. Yet led aftray by Venus' foft delights, $ He fcarce could rule fome idle appetites: For long ago, let Pflefts fay what they cou'd, Weak finful laymen were but flefh and blood.
