Strona 330 - The harmony of their tongues hath into bondage Brought my too diligent ear : for several virtues Have I liked several women ; never any With so full soul, but some defect in her Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed, And put it to the foil : but you, O you, So perfect, and so peerless, are created Of every creature's best.

Strona 174 - And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.
Strona 91 - Li ruscelletti, che de' verdi colli Del Casentin discendon giuso in Arno, Facendo i lor canali e freddi e molli, Sempre mi stanno innanzi, e non indarno ; Che 1' imagine lor via più m' asciuga, Che il male, ond' io nel volto mi discarno. La rigida giustizia, che mi fruga, Tragge cagion del luogo, ov' io peccai, A metter più gli miei sospiri in fuga.
Strona 59 - And who, in time, knows whither we may vent The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores This gain of our best glory shall be sent, T' enrich unknowing nations with our stores?
