a Monument ere&ed by the Publick to
one of their Bishops: The Inscription
says, that there was between him and
his Maker, Summa Neceffitudo, Summa
Similitude. The Italian Epitaphs are
often more extravagant than those of o-
ther Countries, as the Nation is more
given to Compliment and Hyperbole.
From Verona to Padua we travelled thro’
a very pleasant Country: It is planted
thick with Rows of White Mulberry-
trees, that furnish Food sor great Quan-
tities of Silk-worms with their Leaves,
as the Swine and Poultry consume the
Fruit. The Trees themselves serve, at
the same time, asso many Stays for their
Vines, which hang all along like Garlands
from Tree to Tree. Between the seve-
ral Ranges lye Fields of Corn, which in
these warm Countries ripens much bet-
ter among the Mulberry Shades, than if
it were exposed to the open Sun. This
was one Reason why the Inhabitants of
this Country, when I passed thro’ it,
were extreamly apprehensive of seeing
