Note 312 — THE AGE OF BRONZE.
Reading edition
{562}[Francesco Can Grande della Scala died in 1329. It was under his roof that Dante learned
"... how salt his food who fares Upon another's bread—how steep his path Who treadeth up and down another's stairs."
For anecdotes of Can Grande, see Commedia, etc., by E. H. Plumptre, D.D., 1886, I. cxx., cxxi.; and compare Dante at Verona, by D. G. Rossetti, Works, 1886, i. 1-17.]
