I immediately went to work with this piece of ground; and in less than a month’s time I had so fenced it round that my flock, or herd, call it which you please, which were not so wild now as at first they might be supposed to be, were well enough secured in it: so, without any further delay, I removed ten young she-goats and two he-goats to this piece, and when they were there I continued to perfect the fence till I had made it as secure as the other; which, however, I did at more leisure, and it took me up more time by a great deal.
Accintomi tosto all’opera su questo pezzo di terra, in meno d’un mese io lo ebbi sì ben munito all’intorno, che il mio armento o branco (chiamatelo poi come volete) di capre selvatiche, che per altro non erano più tali, poteva starvi con bastante sicurezza. Senz’altra dilazione pertanto io vi condussi dieci capre femmine e due capri; poi quando vi furono, continuai a perfezionar la mia siepe finchè vidi questi animali in sicurezza come quelli degli altri parchi; il qual lavoro nondimeno, avendolo fatto più adagio, mi portò via un tempo molto maggiore.
