I have often observed that those of our times, who take upon them to write comedies (in imitation of the Italians, who are happy enough in that way of writing), take three or four plots of those of Plautus or Terence to make one of their own, and , crowd five or six of Boccaccio's novels into one single comedy.
Anitzetan gogoratu zait nola, gure aroan, komedien egitera nahasten direnek (hala nola italiarrek, aski zorionekoak baitira) darabiltzaten Terentzio edo Plautoren hiruzpalau gai beraienetarik baten moldatzeko.
