She has a clear fine mind, is studious and ambitious, but certainly not a genius, unless it be in music; and she can be trained into a cultivated refined woman, sufficiently conversant with the sciences to comprehend their contemporaneous development, without threatening us with pedantry, or adopting a style suitable to the groves of Crotona in the days of Damo, or the abstruse mystical diction that doomed Hypatia to the mercy of the monks.

The _damo_—for so a sweetheart is termed in Tuscany—trembles until he has gained the approval of his future mother-in-law, and forbids the girl he is courting to leave her house to talk to him at night:— Dice che tu tî affacci alia finestra; Ma non tî dice che tu vada fuora, Perchè, la notte, è cosa disonesta.

The _Rispetti_ of all times, localities and dialects form one protracted, ever-varying Duo between Thou and I, the _dama_ and the _damo_, the eternal protagonists in the play of youth and love.
