Chance in uncertain, fortune double-faced, Smiling at first… - Torquato Tasso

" "
Chance in uncertain, fortune double-faced,
Smiling at first, she frowneth in the end:
Beware thine honor be not then disgraced,
Take heed thou mar not when thou think'st to mend.

Additional quotes by Torquato Tasso

Nè consiglio d'uom sano Amor riceve.

The world grows old,
and growing old, withers away.

Forse, se tu gustassi anco una volta
La millesima parte de la gioie
Che gusta un cor amato riamando,
Diresti, ripentita, sospirando:
Perduto è tutto il tempo
Che in amar non si spende.
