"Anzi con" in Genovese dialect (it was a common word and almost always at the beginnings of sentences):

"Puo con doi oggi, como baveivi avanti
Anzi con dei bruxenti, echieri Soi
Bruxaui, e orbivi, ri vostri galanti:"

I've been reading about dialects in the Lombardy/Piedmont/northern Italian area for a while, but I hadn't come across this book until today... It's by Longfellow, et al, and includes a nice 19th-century summation of dialects in that area (pp. 504 to 506). It's worthwhile reading because it was published in 1871, before the invention of radios melded and somewhat standardized languages, and gives a sense of the diversity and blending of languages that occurred in this region:
