Additional quotes by Francesco Berni

He still fought stoutly on—and he was dead.

For fault inveterate, new punishment.

Cursed be he who e'er has put his trust
Or who henceforth shall trust in woman's heart;
False are they all, and to mankind a curse;
The plain are bad enough, the fair are worse.
