Notes

Copied as printed, garbled in the published text. Marie means Juvenal’s Mens sana in corpore sano (“a sound mind in a sound body”, Satires X.356), and Alfieri’s epigram on the French from the Misogallo: Tutto fanno, nulla sanno; / Tutto sanno, nulla fanno; / Gira volta, son Francesi: / Più li pesi, men ti danno (“They do everything and know nothing; they know everything and do nothing; turn them round, they are French: the more you weigh them, the less they give you”). ↩
