Text:
[In a fictional conversation, Byron asks Odoherty what he thinks of "our Italian Improvisatores." Odoherty replies that he could better them in any language, and proceeds to improvise a translation of a comic song by Ritson.]
Byron: "Bravo—bravissimo!—why, you would beat old Camillo Querno if you would only learn Italian."
