Anonymous · first published Augsburg, 1509

InferredFuller writes 'Now like Fortunatus I find that my mistress will not thank me for pines made of cinnamon, rather they swoon from too rich an odour.' Fortunatus is the hero of the German chapbook tradition (first published 1509); the image of excess generosity causing harm is from this tale.
