summary:
  Now these men, whose life normally lasts only forty years, that is, half the time granted by nature to other men, would experience every moment an intensity of life, twice as strong as ours, because their growth, maturity, and decline are accomplished twice as rapidly as with us. Both are often despised for their difference in manner of life and opinions from other men, who neither do justice to their ability nor to the writings they put forth in proof of it.

summary:
  [623] It may be interesting to compare this scarcely disguised satire with the official flatteries of _Canzone_ ii. The changes wrought by Poliziano in the structure of _ottava rima_, his majesty and linked sweetness long drawn out, were unknown to Boiardo.
