Canto Decimonono: Stanza 36. (Nineteenth song: Stanza 36). Stanza reads: Amid such pleasures, where, with tree o ergrown,
Ran stream, or bubbling fountains wave did spin,
On bark or rock, if yielding were the stone,
The knife was straight at work or ready pin.
And there...
MEDORO and ANGELICA were traced,
In divers cyphers quaintly interlaced.
