HERE IT IS TOLD OF MESSER GIACOPINO RANGONE AND WHAT HE DID TO A COURT
PLAYER
Messer Giacopino Rangone [90], a noble knight of Lombardy, being one
day at table, had two flasks of very fine white and red wine before
him.
A buffoon being at the table, did not dare to ask for some of the wine,
much as he desired to. Getting up, and taking a beaker, he washed it
well and ostentatiously. Then when he had washed it, he flourished it
in his hand and said: sire, I have washed it.
And Messer Giacopino put his hand into the glass and said: Well you can
complete your toilet [91] somewhere else.
The buffoon remained there and had no wine.
