Milanese Literature, 1850.

Literature was not neglected by the
lcisured classes of Milan. They read poet
~, and they wrote it. One bard pennrd
a sonnet on each of the hundred invoca-
tons in the litany OF the Virgin Mary.
Another aimed hundred sonnets at the
head of q man to whom he owed shil-
Engs. A third poured forth five dozen SON
nets on a miser, describing them on the
title page as being written by Sir Lullo,
Sir Lallo and Sir Lello, annotated by Sir
Lollo and dedicated by Sir Lilo. One
learned society held its meetings with a
child for chairman, to whom they pro-
pounded all sorts of abstruse problems,
and who was instructed to answer each
question with one word.
Then these solemn triflers would choose
two.of their number to demonstrate that
the chairman's one word solved the ques-
ton propoundcd or at least pointed
straight to the right solution of it. Verse,
however. was the chief business of the So
ciety, verses on births, deaths and mar
riages. christcnings, combinations and
first communions; ON nuns taking tho
veil, or nuns mother taking new CT

on a lady's pet, or q gentlemans bet, or a
