Ad Iddi!"

[9] A phrase curiously identical, with a similar sequence, is attributed to an Austrian General at the battle of Skalitz in 1866.

(Stoffel's Letters.)

[10] E no me posso aregordar Dalcuno romanzo vertade Donde oyse uncha cointar Alcun triumfo si sobre!

[11] Stella in Muratori, xvii. 984.

[12] Dandulo, Ibid. xii. 404-405.

[13] Or entram con gran vigor, En De sperando aver triumpho, Queli zerchando inter lo Gorfo Chi menazeram zercha lor!

And in the next verse note the pure Scotch use of the word bra: -

Siche da Otranto se partim Quella bra compagnia, Per assar in Ihavonia, D'Avosto a vinte nove di.

[14] The island of Curzola now counts about 4000 inhabitants; the town half the number. It was probably reckoned a dependency of Venice at this time. The King of Hungary had renounced his claims on the Dalmatian coasts by treaty in 1244. (Romanin, ii. 235.) The gallant defence of the place against the Algerines in 1571 won for Curzola from the Venetian Senate the honourable title in all documents of fedelissima. (Paton's Adriatic, I. 47.)

[15] Ma se si gran colmo avea Perche andava mendigando

Per terra de Lombardia Peccunia, gente a sodi? Pone mente tu che l'odi Se noi tegnamo questa via?

No, ma piu! ajamo omi nostrar Destri, valenti, e avisti, Che mai par de lor n' o visti In tuti officj de mar.

[16] In July 1294, a Council of Thirty decreed that galleys should be equipped by the richest families in proportion to their wealth.
