Note 1006 — Chapter I · MORALITY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
This is the case, for example, with Gioviano Pontano (De Fortitudine, l. ii.). His heroic Ascolans, who spend their last night in singing and dancing, the Abruzzian mother, who cheers up her son on his way to the gallows, &c., belong probably to brigand families, but he forgets to say so.
