! 10 enunerate. by Their namrs, all the
known artists; but, at each celebra
ted name Pasquarelo shook his head
dlsdalnfully.
'Fonlish animal = said he, draw.
ing himself up is it necessary IL
submit to the Judgment Of such ap-
precIaiors ?
What, do you not even know
what all the world prochnns, that
the most admirable musician Of our
time is no other than Signor Pas
qualo Capuzzi di Senegaslia, who
has deiened TO DO me the honor Ia
accept me for his humble valetl'
Gaziano burst out laughing at the
extravaganza of ais questioner.
lugrate, do-nothng = exclaimed
he, dost thou not blush at having
quilted my service, which gave you
bread, honest wages and blows, to 90
aud scout with the most notorious
miser in all Rome, with a kind of
maccaronl bag, with a double ass,
who tries to look like a virtuoso, aud
only knows how TO bray day and
night, to the great discomfort Of all
kipctta street !!
Miserable enyier replied Pasqua
relic and, turning his hack on his
abusive adversary, he brauched oil
into an inlernninable panegyric on
| Capuzzi, IN which he took care not
TO forget the description Of his phys
ical advantages, seasoned with such
burlesque features, that the mlarity OF
the spectators rose To its utmost
height Bot Capuzzi alone compre
hended nothing OF this parody. He
was ready to die for JOY, and felt
himself avenged for what he called,
10 MS own breast, the injustice OF
his contemporaries.
At this moment, the scene at the
end of the Stage opened to give en-
trance to caricalure of Capuzzi in
person, copied mask and dress, with
the most minute fidelity. 1t was his
bearing, his look and his gait: the
whole appeared so real, that the true
Capuzzl, frozen oy fear at this unex-
[ pected apparlion, allowed Marian
mas hand to escape from his grasp,
which he had until then kept upon
it, and began 10 feel of himself from
head to foot, to see lf he was still in
the land of the living, and # the per.
sonage who was advancing on the
stage was a spectre or his ghost
The false CapuzzI began 10y kis-
sing GrazIano ienderly upon both
cheeks, then he asked him how he
was. The doctor smiled, and taking
the attitude of conqleror, an.
swered that his health was perfect
but that his purse was extremely
sick that he had the night before
purchased for the queen of hi,
thoughts, a magnificent pair of flame
colored stockings, the price OF which
mad ruined him and that if he did
not fnd, that very day, some Jew
who would lend him thirty ducats
his reputation as man of gallaniry
would be gone forever, and he should
lose his lady.
Thirty ducats, my dear friend !!
exclaimed the unknown, who so wei
represented the lean figure of Ca.
puzzi thirty ducals is that all
and must you really be troubled a.
bout such trIne as that Here, my
estimable friend, here are fifty thai
beg you will accept out of love fol
me.
'Pasquale, Pasquale what arl
thou dong thou wilt ruin lhyself,
murmured in a low voice the verita,
BILE Capuzzi, moving uneasIly upon
his seat.
Master Graziano, the fashionable
doctor, drew parchment from hi,
pocket to write receipt upon; bu
the Capuzzl resisted and would not
listen to his talk about receipts and
interest for a loan which was moi
worth, as he said, The trouble ofihink.
ing abou, for two minutes.
Pasquale, my friend, thou AL los
ing thy Wits continued Capuzzi
half aloud. Notwithstanding, doc.
tor GIazlano secured the loan, and
loaded with caresses, with which he
appeared TO wish to suliocate the
false Capuzzi Then the clown, ap.
proachng HIM in very humble man.
ncr, and exhausling himself in the
most eXiravagant salulalluns, held ou
his hand tinidly, as if to solicit the
wages already due him. The false
CapuzLl Ia vein OF good humor
threw him few ducals and multi.
lude of fine promises for the future.
Pusquaie, Pasquale thou art
yielding thyself TO the devil Profit
guilty = cried out the verilable ca.
puzzI, so loudly, that the whole au.
dience called out for him to be qui-
ct, with threat to throw him oul
should he again disturb the play.
The clown gravely continued hi,
eulogium on the ine qualities of his
master, and Judged that the time was
appropriate TO announce TO the pub
lie new air from this great master
Tie false Capuzzi, clappIng his com
panlon on the shoulder, said to him,
with look ridlculously cunning en-
ough to make Egyptian mummles
die laughing, that the office of sing
ing Signor Pasquale Capuzzi di Sc
negaglla's music was just suited to a
valet, seeing that the pretended vir-
tuoso Capuzzi found it infinitely con
