In his nature he is rich and jesting, He is always delighted to hear a new rumor. His every concern is in luxury. He willingly laughs and keeps himself cheerful, He speaks neither gently nor in anger or fury. His heart is easily distracted by anything, Whatever stirs his sanguine humor. He is suited to study every mysterious thing. He delights in tasting various foods. He loves freely and is kind, With a very quick and bold manner. A red color may spread over all his body. With songs and speech he never has enough. His limbs are heavily dressed with flesh. ---------- [Italian transcript] Lo infermo di febre cotidiana interpellata, cioe quando per alcun spacio di tempo cessa isminuiscasi dela vena mezana.
