What is the plot of Stravinsky's 'Pulcinella' (ballet with solo singers, not suite)?

Question

If the next paragraph is too long: In the aria 'Con queste paroline' what are the 'paroline' (little words) the singer is responding to, and an even more basic question: is the singer meant to be Pulcinella, Furbo or another character?

In specific I would llike to know how to approach the piece 'Con queste Paroline' and how it fits in the context of the work. I have a vague idea that Puclinella, a married man, is basically causing trouble by seducing the local women and later must feign his death to appease the locals (then everyone gets married for an oligatory happy ending), but in specific what is this aria about? Plot summaries I have found have not gone into much detail, and the score is still in copyright.
