Then the Soldane strictly commaunded, that on some high and eminent place of the Citie, _Ambroginolo_ should be bound and impaled on a Stake, having his naked body annointed all over with honey, and never to be taken off, untill (of it selfe) it fell in pieces, which, according to the sentence, was presently performed. Next, he gave expresse charge, that all his mony and goods should be given to _Genevra_, which valued above ten thousand double Duckets. Forth-with a solemne feast was prepared, wherein, much honour was done to _Bernardo_, being the husband of _Genevra_: and to her, as to a most worthy woman, and matchlesse wife, he gave in costly Jewelse, as also vesselse of gold and silver plate, so much as amounted to above ten thousand double Duckets more. When the feasting was finished, he caused a Ship to be furnished for them, graunting them licence to depart for _Geneway_ when they pleased: whither they returned most rich and joyfully, being welcommed home with great honour, especially Madame _Genevra_, whom every one supposed to be dead, and alwayes after, so long as shee lived, shee was most famous for her manifold vertues. But as for _Ambroginolo_, the very same day that he was impaled on the Stake, annointed with honey, and fixed in the place appointed, to his no meane torment: he not onely died, but likewise was devoured to the bare bones, by Flyes, Waspes and Hornets, whereof the Countrey notoriously aboundeth. And his bones, in full forme and fashion, remained strangely blacke for a long while after, knit together by the sinewes; as a witnesse to many thousands of people, which afterward beheld his carkasse of his wickednesse against so good and vertuous a woman, that had not so much as a thought of any evill towards him. And thus was the Proverbe truly verified, that shame succeedeth after ugly sinne, and the deceiver is trampled and trod, by such as himselfe hath deceived. Pagamino da Monaco, _a roving Pirate on the Seas, caried away the faire Wife of_ Signior Ricciardo di Chinzica, _who understanding where shee was, went thither; and falling into friendship with_ Pagamino, _demaunded his Wife of him; whereto he yeelded, provided, that shee would willingly goe away with him. She denied to part thence with her Husband, and_ Signior Ricciardo _dying; she became the Wife of_ Pagamino. The tenth Novell. _Wherein olde men are wittily reprehended, that will match themselves with younger women, then is fit for their yeares and insufficiencie; never considering, what afterward may happen to them._
