One can say, beyond that, that in this poem one does not
finds indecency neither satire nor sarcasm nor irreligiousness at the
cuna, nor an expression not to be used among the most moderate
youth of both sexes; and that with all this, it is delightful
like the most famous romance poems, which are
the Morgante maggiore by Luigi Pulci, The Orlando inna
Morato del Boiardo remade by Berni, L ' Orlando Furio
so of the Ariosto, and the Ricciardetto of the Forteguerri.
The spark of these poems was born from the Life of Charles
Magno and d'Orlando, written or attributed to Turpino arci
bishop of Rheims; which has ignited in the minds of the
their authors vast poetic flames, so one cannot say
that the fundamental subject is entirely original:
but the Losario has no other origin than the
inventive mind of the author; which seems to have
aspired to show that even without the incentive of
debauchery, or other unwise means, one can do a
honest and pleasant poem at the same time.
when, wrongly and crosswise, the irony and the whip of the
satire and sarcasm; and the atheist Pulci, not content with
this also gives an imposing mixture of the sacred and of
profane, and to make certain mysteries mock at his Margutte

The queen, for whom Losario was the guiding star of the
his mind resolves to go after him; and since, if
had appeared in the same form in which it was seen in Losa
would have been known, leave the white horse, ne
takes a bay, and dresses in gray color. Give the horse
white to one of his squires, asking him about you
keep it always covered with a saddle cloth; not to be far from
by word of mouth or by hints
notice; and he also had his squires change at the end
that they are not known by those who first saw them.
Thus disguised, she walks towards Garameta; and how
at the clubs, send the other squire to
ask the king for permission to be admitted among his own
warriors, making us announce for a knight errant,
of a remote country, which does not know or understand their line
gua, and as a result of this, does not speak or respond to
any. Losario receives it, and commands that it be placed with
Agatirso, another brave knight.

So we left behind us
Mennonia, which is a city, as you know,
Capital of the kingdom, and we left
To the sea for certain routes perhaps never
Pria notes, and on a wood we found
Together with Solino I embarked.
We had such a storm in the sea,
What shipwreck for sure I believe.

I told you,
Of my excellent and beloved spouse,
Of your kingdom from the wicked usurped,
Of my escape and sad fate
In which my barbarous fate has placed me,
It is little to what remains; but death,
Take me to the side, only a few moments
Let me finish the bitter events.

Bow and quiver still there, contests
Golden and silver from mighty archer:
The whole shines like a diamond,
And light in this and in that part renders.

He removed, and went out with those who had come down,
Very happy that I do not reason;
And the trunks taken in the branches
With others in beautiful altars they are arranged.
On the other hand, people are flooding:
Force is that the mountain to rejoice answers.

And with them he drove to the very last place
Education and every empire of the sea.
Miseri, who was not given to see

We followed it silently;
And here a great palace is exposed,
In which, when we arrived we were then,
We saw great wealth and noblemen:
The damsel ci scôrta, and her steps
As soon as the neighboring guardian discovers,
To inform his lady goes,
Who came to us without abiding residence.

And his brave infantry meanwhile go

But one day the greatest leaders and the most valuable
Greats of that realm were together,
Joining the dissipated spirits to the heart
And to himself by doing extreme violence,
Of the highest leader at the feet, of those magnates
In presence, he throws himself and cries and moans:
crying and sobbing through the course
Truncate the voice and stop his speech.

And two nymphs joked about the wave and the grass
We saw, beyond measure, fresh and beautiful;
What a fortune to see, - Who will keep you,
Did they say, inequitable, sad and fake insults?
Who leads you to unhappy death?
What are you going to find here cruel stars?
Please take your steps back, and that's enough
That you arrived at these placid shores. -

It turns the eye for everything, and does not see again
The beautiful warrior who returns to promise.
To Antasete it soon requires it;
And he did not see him expressed,
But that will have the foot already moved;
For those who believe are not right
That hero who has such beautiful soul, to that
Sign your own honor lay in non-haul.

He ingeniously invented it
An arrow so, that it has the ring
Of iron tip on top of it armed,
But let it be built in this way
That stops when it is thrown,
Bring death to the enemy or proud ambascia,
But if he takes it out with his hand he gets ready,
The stick comes out but the iron remains.
