Summer's Funeral Ride and Don Bernardo's Tale
An extended miscellany blends a lyric reverie on summer’s end with a romantic tale of Don Bernardo and Constanza. Bernardo rescues two captives in Algeria, falls for Constanza, earns her trust, and they wed despite royal impediments. The king later pardons them after Constanza reveals a hidden past and their infant son. The piece shifts to essays urging young men to start noble careers, praises for books, and humorous anecdotes about mothers-in-law and journalists.

A colossal ancient ship described as the largest afloat besides Noalvs Ark, built by order of a Syracusan hero, supervised by Archimedes. It featured palace like apartments, baths, temples, gardens, mills, and a gymnasium. The hull housed ivory statues, precious floors, and cypress interiors with stone studding. It carried twenty oars, towers, and war machines. Archimedes devised a powerful screw to launch it. It sailed to Alexandria bearing corn amid famine, carrying part of a royal inscription to Neptune.
