This second person of the singular number, in the first Coniugation, dooth ende in a, and in the thirde, in i: ne∣uerthelesse sometimes to this i, doo we adde an a, and say, abbja, sappja, dèbbja, in steade of abbi, sappi, dèbbi, and such others. But these woords are most vsed of Poetes. In cer∣taine other Verbes, we cast away the vowel, and say, Vjèn, tjèn, for vjèni, tjèni, and diuers others. And this is done as wel when a vowel foloweth, as a consonant: yea sometime we cast away the whole sillable, and say, co, ve, to, for cogli, vedi, and togli.

In stead of this tyme we may vse the Infinitiue, with the Negatiue, and say, Non ti scordar di mè: Forget not thee selfe of me. Non far cosi: Doo not so. Non l aver' per male: Haue it not in yl part.

The first plural may leaue the last vowel, and so we may say, Debbjamo, debbjate, debbjano: We owe, you owe, they

owe. And so, Sappjamo, we know, vogljamo, we wyl, and such others.

The third plural likewise may loose the last vowel, and the last vowel saue one, may be i, and a. But yet in all Verbes, the first Coniugation hath not alwayes the i, as, amino, loue they, cantino, sing they.

In the Verbe Dare, and Stare, we say, Diano, and dieno geue they: Stiano, and stieno, stande they. Wee are also better to say, Odino, and legghino, then Odano, and lèggano And so let this suffice you for the present tyme.

Nowe let vs come to the passed, whose vse wyl seeme naughty, to the scrupulous, but yet wyl yeelde a contenta∣tion and profite to the wise.
