Additional quotes by Francesco Berni

So those whose heads with snowy locks are crowned,
More ready to advise than aid are found.

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.

Never a man unblemished virtue shows,
Save when he is the butt of fortune's blows.
