Some of his other work: * ''[[Decennale primo]]'' (1506) – a poem in [[terza rima]]. * ''[[Decennale secondo]]'' (1509) – a poem. * [[Andria (Machiavelli)|Andria]] or ''The Girl from Andros'' (1517) – a semi-autobiographical comedy, adapted from [[Terence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2012/04/18/first-time-machiavelli-translation-debuts-at-yale/|title=First-time Machiavelli translation debuts at Yale|date=18 April 2012|publisher=yaledailynews.com}}</ref> * ''[[Mandragola]]'' (1518) – ''[[The Mandrake]]'' – a five-act prose comedy, with a verse prologue. * ''[[Clizia]]'' (1525) – a prose comedy. * ''[[Belfagor arcidiavolo]]'' (1515) – a novella. * ''[[The Golden Ass (Machiavelli)|Asino d'oro]]'' (1517) – ''[[The Golden Ass (Machiavelli)|The Golden Ass]]'' is a [[terza rima]] poem, a new version of the [[The Golden Ass|classic work]] by [[Apuleius]]. * ''Frammenti storici'' (1525) – fragments of stories. ===Other works=== ''Della Lingua'' (Italian for "On the Language") (1514), a dialogue about Italy's language is normally attributed to Machiavelli. Machiavelli's literary executor, Giuliano de' Ricci, also reported having seen that Machiavelli, his grandfather, made a comedy in the style of [[Aristophanes]] which included living Florentines as characters, and to be titled ''Le Maschere''. It has been suggested that due to such things as this and his style of writing to his superiors generally, there was very likely some animosity to Machiavelli even before the return of the Medici.<ref>{{Harvtxt|Godman|1998|p=240}}.
