The true representation and caracter. Strange monsters have adorned the stage, Not Afric's coast produces more. And yet no land, no clime, nor age, Have equal'd this harmonious boar. L'ira è lodovole quando giuesta è la cagione. Plinio The Italian phrase contradicts the Latin sentence of Pliny the younger which it purports to paraphrase, Epistulae, lib IX, no. 21 ("tunc praecipua mansuetudinis laus, cum irae causa iustissima est")
