He abhors battles and wars, for they are destructive to his trade. He may be honest, but he cares little for the idealistic honor of the ...

... has too much fighting and "revenge,"[44]—which is true; but the revenge was only among his knights. He was himself (like my admirable friend) one of the most forgiving of men; and the fighting was the taste of the age, in which chivalry was still flourishing in the shape of such men as Bayard, and ferocity in men like Gaston de Foix. Ariosto certainly did not anticipate, any more than Shakspeare did, that spirit of human amelioration which has ennobled the present age. He thought only of reflecting nature as he found it. ...

Madison eagerly seized this opportunity, and on May 9, 1813, Gallatin and Bayard were sent as special commissioners.

But Sampiero did not forget the wrongs of his native land while thus on foreign service.
