Text:
Signor Pistrucci, the Improvvisatore, or Impromptu Poet, whose talent has raised so much wonder in Paris, is become a subject of conversation in the polite circles of our metropolis. This most ingenious Roman is a man of learning and general knowledge, who composes and recites verses in any rhyme or stanza extempore, upon whatever subject may, at the moment, be proposed; and he does not limit himself to a few verses, but goes to the length of many stanzas of eight lines, not only without a pause, but without a single hesitation.
