The verb 'to be' conjugated; an invective in red chalk
A grammar drill on esse beside a prose passage denouncing an unnamed wicked man
The right margin and upper block set out the Latin verb esse ('to be') conjugated through its tenses and moods, with a few Italian glosses (esse = essere, fuisse = essere stato) and a note that certain gerund forms are 'not in use.' Across the lower half, in red chalk, runs a fierce prose passage declaring that all the evils that are and ever were would not satisfy the wicked soul of a certain man whom the writer cannot fully describe. The page thus pairs a grammar exercise with a literary invective, and several of the red-chalk lines are struck through.

The verb esse ('to be') fully conjugated
Sum, eram, fui, fueram, ero run the indicative, then sis, esto, essem, fuissem, sim and the subjunctive follow, closing with the infinitives esse ('to be') and fuisse ('to have been'). A marginal Italian note observes that certain gerund forms (essendi, essendo, essendum) are 'not in use,' ending with the participle ens.
Invective against a wicked man (in red chalk)
All the evils that are and that ever were, set to work by this man, would not satisfy the desire of his wicked soul. The writer says he could not, however long the time, describe the man's nature, but firmly concludes something the passage does not reach, breaking off unfinished.
