But while she was away, Nardo Aniello, the King's son, passed by the cottage on his way to the chase; and, seeing the pot at the window, he took a great fancy to have a fling at it; and he made a bet with his attendants to see who should fling the straightest and hit in the middle with a stone.

But the more Nardo Aniello wished to continue speaking, the more his tongue seemed tied; for in this wretched life there is no wine of enjoyment without dregs of vexation.

Now she seized Nardo Aniello by the nape of his neck, saying, "Hollo! what now, you thief! you rogue!" "Yourself the rogue," replied the Prince, "back with you, old hag!"
