– Sire, essendo l'agnello ancor piccolino, et pascolando un giorno la madre alla campagna, luntanatasi alquanto, mi fu dal lupo rubbata, et havendo à caso la cagna, che alla guardia dello greggio io tengo, in que' giorni i suoi cagnolini partoriti, non sapend'io ritrovar strada migliore di far il picciol agnello nutricare, alla poppa della cagna attaccatolo, fu da quella si fattamente allevato, che giudicatolo degno cibo di voi, et uccisolo, lo vi mandai istamane, et al maggiordomo vostro lo consignai –.

"Sire, when the lamb was still very small, and when its mother was grazing one day in the countryside, and had strayed somewhat, it was taken by the wolf. And because I happen to have a bitch, which I keep to guard the herd, and which at the time had given birth to a litter of puppies, I did not know that I could find a better way than letting the little lamb feed at the teats of the bitch. It was bred that way, and when I judged it to be food worthy of you, I killed it and sent it to you right away and delivered it to your majordomo."
