The narrator of this poem promises "thirteen scudi for the ruff," referring to a figure known as "The Cousin" whose whistle ends this poem. The narrator of this work addresses his "melancholy little house," which he built with money stolen from Francis I. Its speaker brushes off criticism by asking "what does the mountain care?" but concedes that "a man's reach should exceed his grasp." That speaker asserts "that arm is wrongly put" in critiquing a work of Raphael but is forced to agree that "there burns a truer light of God in them." Its speaker asks "What wife had Rafael, or has Agnolo?" and tells his own wife, Lucrezia, "do not let us quarrel any more."
