Oh che sanguinosa e spaziosa porta
Fa l'una e l'altra spada ovunque giugna,
Nell'arme e nelle carni! E se la vita
Non esce, sdegno tienla al petto unita.

Additional quotes by Torquato Tasso

Great Carthage low in ashes cold doth lie,
Her ruins poor the herbs in height scant pass,
So cities fall, so perish kingdoms high,
Their pride and pomp lies hid in sand and grass:
Then why should mortal man repine to die,
Whose life, is air; breath, wind; and body, glass?

Veramente il secol d'oro è questo,
Poiché sol vince l'oro, e regna l'oro.

All things are lawful for our lands and faith.
