On the Italian Priesthood
This an adaptation of the following epigram, which appeared in
Giuseppe Giusti's
RACCOLTA DI PROVERBI TOSCANI (Firenze, 1853).
Con arte e con inganno si vive mezzo l'anno
Con inganno e con arte si vive l'altra parte.
In knavish art and gathering gear
They spend the one half of the year;
In gathering gear and knavish art
They somehow spend the other part.
