Lettering

Sia latte od acqua, cara ell'è al palato Del villanel, e piace ai labri suoi; Scherza bevendo, e così insegna a noi, Qual della prisca gente fosi il stato. Apud v.n. Canalem Franciscu(m) Maria(m) Venetiis auctore Zuccarelli. F. Bartolozzi inc. Bears number: No. 7-10 Translation of lettering: Whether it be milk or water, it is dear to the palate of the peasant boy, and pleases his lips. He jokes while drinking, and thus teaches us, what was the state of ancient people
