  1    8,    3|           THING THEY HEARE~ ~ ~ ~ Calandrino, Bruno, and Buffalmaco,
  2    8,    3|         Stone called Helitropium. Calandrino no perswaded himselfe to~ ~
  3    8,    3|           dwelt, a Painter, named Calandrino, a~ ~simple man; yet as
  4    8,    3|       often resorting to the said Calandrino, because they tooke~ ~delight
  5    8,    3|     intended to deale with simple Calandrino: they went both very~ ~neere
  6    8,    3|           conference of~ ~theirs, Calandrino lent an attentive eare,
  7    8,    3|           rarity.~ ~ Soone after, Calandrino started up, and perceiving
  8    8,    3|        still the former Argument; Calandrino would~ ~needs request to
  9    8,    3|           Now trust me Sir, (said Calandrino) that is an excellent Countrey
 10    8,    3|           all. Have you Sir, said Calandrino, at any time beene in that~ ~
 11    8,    3|          Sir, I pray you~ ~(quoth Calandrino) is that worthy Countrey,
 12    8,    3|       sudden.~ ~ Surely Sir, said Calandrino, it is further hence, then
 13    8,    3|     travell~ ~seemeth tedious.~ ~ Calandrino well noting, that Maso delivered
 14    8,    3|      invisible. O Lord Sir (quoth Calandrino) those stones are of rare~ ~
 15    8,    3|          what bignesse Sir (quoth Calandrino) is the Stone, and~ ~what
 16    8,    3|        coulour, namely blacke.~ ~ Calandrino committing all these things
 17    8,    3|         commended the counsell of Calandrino. Buffalmaco demaunding how
 18    8,    3|      named. Now it fortuned, that Calandrino (who had but a~ ~grosse
 19    8,    3|          two sorts of them (quoth Calandrino) some bigge, others~ ~smaller,
 20    8,    3|         allowed the counsell of~ ~Calandrino, which when they had (by
 21    8,    3|          the advice of Bruno, and Calandrino did no~ ~lesse, concluding
 22    8,    3|           go see the Stone.~ ~But Calandrino was verie earnest with them,
 23    8,    3|     agreement,~ ~they parted from Calandrino who hardly enjoyed anie
 24    8,    3|      finde this strange stone.~ ~ Calandrino went stealing before the
 25    8,    3|         and pretending not to see Calandrino, albeit he was not farre
 26    8,    3|           them: What is become of Calandrino? saide Buffalmaco. Bruno
 27    8,    3|       would have beleeved him.~ ~ Calandrino (who was close by them)
 28    8,    3|           but I solemnly protest, Calandrino shall no~ ~more make an
 29    8,    3|   therewith;~ ~but all was one to Calandrino, whatsoever they saide,
 30    8,    3|     Casting it from him, he smote Calandrino just in the backe~ ~therewith,
 31    8,    3|            therewith, saying that Calandrino had bin so neere as I might
 32    8,    3|            would seeme not to see Calandrino in his~ ~passage by them,
 33    8,    3|        their houses at dinner.~ ~ Calandrino, every minute ready to sinke
 34    8,    3|        without~ ~our dinner. When Calandrino heard this, and perceived
 35    8,    3|      gentle~ ~pace, they followed Calandrino home to his house, and being
 36    8,    3|        called out alowd~ ~to him. Calandrino being in a sweate, stamping
 37    8,    3|      beaten;~ ~on the other side, Calandrino standing unbraced and ungirded,~ ~
 38    8,    3|        thus spake.~ ~ Why how now Calandrino? What may the meaning of
 39    8,    3|          of a wise or honest man? Calandrino,~ ~over-spent with travalle,
 40    8,    3|     Buffalmaco thus began to him. Calandrino, if thou be angry with any~ ~
 41    8,    3|        thou shalt serve us so.~ ~ Calandrino (by this time) being somewhat
 42    8,    3|        many times maintained what Calandrino had~ ~said; being well neere
 43    8,    6|        steale a young Brawne from Calandrino, and~ ~for his recovery
 44    8,    6|         to~ ~remember once againe Calandrino and his subtle by a pretty
 45    8,    6|             those three men were, Calandrino, Bruno, and Buffalmaco,
 46    8,    6|           I must tell you, that~ ~Calandrino had a small Country-house,
 47    8,    6|      whereof you heard so lately; Calandrino went alone to the killing
 48    8,    6|         three went~ ~thither, and Calandrino seeing them in the Priests
 49    8,    6|         fat, knowing also, that~ ~Calandrino intended to salt it for
 50    8,    6|             him: Thou art an Asse Calandrino, sell thy Brawne, and let
 51    8,    6|          honest friends, answered Calandrino, your counsell is not to~ ~
 52    8,    6|          what a covetous~ ~wretch Calandrino is, glad and readie to drink
 53    8,    6| accordingly performed, and when~ ~Calandrino perceyved, that the Priest
 54    8,    6|        parted from the Taverne,~ ~Calandrino going directly home to his
 55    8,    6|          went all to bed.~ ~ When Calandrino had well slept after his
 56    8,    6|    morning, they went to visite~ ~Calandrino to heare how he tooke the
 57    8,    6|         bee~ ~wise. How? answered Calandrino, I speake to you in good
 58    8,    6|         beleeve it to be true.~ ~ Calandrino stampt and fretted exceedingly,
 59    8,    6|        not. Wouldst~ ~thou (quoth Calandrino) have me damne my selfe
 60    8,    6|          not flowne~ ~away (quoth Calandrino) yet I am certain, that
 61    8,    6|            saide: Now trust mee~ ~Calandrino, if it be so; they that
 62    8,    6|           If it be~ ~so? answered Calandrino, Belike thou wouldst have
 63    8,    6|           stolne. Be patient good Calandrino,~ ~replyed Buffalmaco, and
 64    8,    6|          to get it againe? said~ ~Calandrino, I would faine heare one
 65    8,    6|           rest~ ~go by. I am sure Calandrino, answered Buffalmaco, thou
 66    8,    6|        but what is the opinion of Calandrino? Is he willing to~ ~have
 67    8,    6|           by all meanes, answered Calandrino,~ ~for gladly I would know
 68    8,    6|          with money to effect it. Calandrino had some forty~ ~shillings
 69    8,    6|          with all these things to Calandrino, and~ ~directing him in
 70    8,    6|          no complaint of me. From Calandrino (our loving friend heere~ ~
 71    8,    6|         should sit, and placing~ ~Calandrino as one among them: he began
 72    8,    6|         it. But~ ~when he came to Calandrino, hee tooke one of them which
 73    8,    6|          him, saide. What meaneth Calandrino by this spetting and~ ~coughing?~ ~
 74    8,    6|     turning him about, and seeing Calandrino to cough~ ~and spet in such
 75    8,    6|        all with one voyce,~ ~That Calandrino was the Theefe to him selfe:
 76    8,    6|   Buffalmaco, who thus spake to~ ~Calandrino. I did ever thinke, that
 77    8,    6|        done many times of ours.~ ~Calandrino, who had not yet ended his
 78    8,    6|          be ashamed of thy selfe. Calandrino hearing~ ~this, grew desperately
 79    8,    6|           the matter.~ ~ Heare me Calandrino, for I speake to thee in
 80    8,    6|          of thine to thy Wife.~ ~ Calandrino perceiving, that all his
 81    8,    6|         them to Florence, leaving Calandrino~ ~to complaine of his losse,
 82    8,    7|      laughing~ ~heartily at poore Calandrino, yet grieving withall, that
 83    8,    7|           in this last of~ ~silly Calandrino. Wherefore, it is now my
 84    9,    3|      Companion, named Nello, made Calandrino to beleeve, that~ ~he was
 85    9,    3|          Novell, concerning silly Calandrino, wherewith I purpose now
 86    9,    3|          heard what manner of man Calandrino was, and~ ~likewise the
 87    9,    3|       wash their mouths well, and Calandrino to bee at the cost thereof.~ ~
 88    9,    3|           next~ ~morning, even as Calandrino was comming foorth of his
 89    9,    3|           unto him, Good~ ~Morrow Calandrino: which he requited backe
 90    9,    3| stedfastly in~ ~the face: whereat Calandrino mervailing, sayd. Nello.~ ~
 91    9,    3|          as thou didst yesterday. Calandrino began instantly~ ~to wax
 92    9,    3|       some paine? In good faith~ ~Calandrino (quoth Nello) me thinks
 93    9,    3|        departed away from him.~ ~ Calandrino being very mistrustfull,
 94    9,    3|            ayled?~ ~ Truly (quoth Calandrino) well enough to mine owne
 95    9,    3|          more then halfe dead.~ ~ Calandrino began presently to shake,
 96    9,    3|          him, saying~ ~at length. Calandrino? Art thou the same man,
 97    9,    3|         thou feele thy health?~ ~ Calandrino hearing, that they all agreed
 98    9,    3|          he should do? Beleeve me Calandrino (answered~ ~Bruno) if I
 99    9,    3|          all returned~ ~home with Calandrino unto his owne house, whereinto
100    9,    3|           to come hither with me. Calandrino very~ ~kindely accepted
101    9,    3|          go home againe, and tell Calandrino, that he must keep~ ~himselfe
102    9,    3|         downe on the beds side by Calandrino, hee began to taste~ ~his
103    9,    3|          he said. Observe me well Calandrino, for I speake to thee~ ~
104    9,    3|        with child.~ ~ So soone as Calandrino heard these words, in dispairing
105    9,    3|          forth of her Chamber.~ ~ Calandrino continuing still in his
106    9,    3|        these raving speeches of~ ~Calandrino, were swolne so bigge with
107    9,    3|          was preparing to depart: Calandrino~ ~thanked him for his paines,
108    9,    3|          of him. Honest neighbour Calandrino, answered the~ ~Phisition,
109    9,    3|        expences. Alas Sir, said~ ~Calandrino, mak not any spare of my
110    9,    3|          of good cheere neighbour Calandrino, replyed Doctor Simon, I
111    9,    3|          fasting next your heart. Calandrino was highly pleased with
112    9,    3|           the givers sake. As for Calandrino, he liked his dyet~ ~drinke
113    9,    3|        pulse, the Phisition said. Calandrino, thou~ ~art now as sound
114    9,    3|           and the childe gone.~ ~ Calandrino arose like a joyfull man,
115    9,    3|     meeting so well with covetous Calandrino: but how~ ~the Wife liked
116    9,    4|         ridiculous words given by Calandrino to his Wife, all the~ ~whole
117    9,    4|      observed by the weake wit of Calandrino. Who needed no such~ ~fantastick
118    9,    5|           IDLE PERSWASIONS~ ~ ~ ~ Calandrino became extraordinarily enamoured
119    9,    5|    notwithstanding the actions of Calandrino have beene~ ~indifferently
120    9,    5|         owne, they drew Nello and Calandrino~ ~into their association,
121    9,    5|          also her face and hands: Calandrino going (by chance) to~ ~the
122    9,    5|          she perceyved in him.~ ~ Calandrino threw wanton glances at
123    9,    5|       sighs~ ~among them: so that Calandrino became foolishly inveigled
124    9,    5|        called her thence.~ ~ When Calandrino was returned backe to his
125    9,    5|   sodainly~ ~he said. Why how now Calandrino? Sigh, puffe, and blow man?
126    9,    5|         these unwonted qualities? Calandrino immediately~ ~answered,
127    9,    5|          friend Deare Bruno, said Calandrino, there is a proper handsome~ ~
128    9,    5|      answered Bruno, take heede~ ~Calandrino, that shee bee not the lovely
129    9,    5|      prove a dangerous matter.~ ~ Calandrino stood scratching his head
130    9,    5|         Bruno replied: Be patient Calandrino, I will enquire what Woman
131    9,    5|    company. For Buffalmaco (quoth Calandrino) I have~ ~no feare at all,
132    9,    5|   resorting thither. Wherefore,~ ~Calandrino going forth of the roome
133    9,    5|          to be followed. And when Calandrino was~ ~returned backe againe;
134    9,    5|          Yes, yes Bruno, answered Calandrino: Alas,~ ~she hath slaine
135    9,    5|       large,~ ~what manner of man Calandrino was, and how farre he was
136    9,    5|        being come backe againe to Calandrino, he saide. It is the same~ ~
137    9,    5|          her? First of all (quoth Calandrino) and in the prime~ ~place,
138    9,    5|          amorous~ ~behaviour, and Calandrino glanced such leering lookes
139    9,    5|          such antick trickes in~ ~Calandrino.~ ~ Having spent an indifferent
140    9,    5|           wonderful affliction to Calandrino;~ ~and as they were going
141    9,    5|          Bruno saide closely to~ ~Calandrino. I dare assure thee, that
142    9,    5|     counsell well Bruno, answered Calandrino; but shall I~ ~bring my
143    9,    5|     prevailing. Ah Bruno (quoth~ ~Calandrino) thou wouldst not credit
144    9,    5|          are well fild with meat. Calandrino~ ~hearing these hansome
145    9,    5|    delivering the messages from~ ~Calandrino, and then returning her
146    9,    5|          a meere Gregory of poore Calandrino, causing~ ~him somtimes
147    9,    5|         hath bene~ ~declared; and Calandrino perceiving, that the worke
148    9,    5|         to be done, he began with Calandrino, saying. My honest Neighbour~ ~
149    9,    5|           marry~ ~Bruno, answered Calandrino, that were an excellent
150    9,    5|        Hast thou so much~ ~corage Calandrino, as but to handle a peece
151    9,    5|         Yes, that I have answered Calandrino, I hope~ ~that needed not
152    9,    5|           what shal content thee. Calandrino watched all~ ~the next night
153    9,    5|           which~ ~he delivered to Calandrino, saying: Be bold Calandrino,
154    9,    5|       Calandrino, saying: Be bold Calandrino, and build~ ~constantly
155    9,    5|           to thy valiant victory. Calandrino stood on tiptoe, like a~ ~
156    9,    5|       effectually.~ ~ Nello, whom Calandrino most of all feared and mistrusted,
157    9,    5|           into~ ~the roome, where Calandrino and his other Consorts were
158    9,    5|      descryed, yet see whatsoever Calandrino did: who when he~ ~imagined
159    9,    5|             it. Why how now deare Calandrino (quoth she) jewell of my
160    9,    5|       amourous conflict, and as~ ~Calandrino was quickning his courage,
161    9,    5|    furiously~ ~upon poore daunted Calandrino, making such a pitiful massacre
162    9,    5|            of wandring abroad?~ ~ Calandrino being in this pittifull
163    9,    5|         perswasions: they advised Calandrino, to walke~ ~with his Wife
164    9,    5|          some outrage. Thus poore Calandrino miserably misused and~ ~
165    9,    6|     generall pacification.~ ~ ~ ~ Calandrino, whose mishaps had so many
166    9,    6|           so~ ~fondly affected by Calandrino, putteth mee in minde of
