Her peasant garments cannot hide the light
of noble soul, her nature high and grand,
and all her queenly majesty shines bright
in every act her humble chores demand.

Additional quotes by Torquato Tasso

Era la notte allor ch'alto riposo

Gli animai lassi, e quei che 'l mare ondoso,
O de' liquidi laghi alberga il fondo,
E chi si giace in tana, o in mandra ascoso,

Sotto il silenzio de' secreti orrori
Sopían gli affanni, e raddolciano i cori.

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.
