Egualmente apprestato ad ogni sorte, Si prometta vittoria, e sprezzi morte. - Torquato Tasso

Such death makes happier end
than conquests of huge realms or infinite gold.

The sacred armies, and the godly knight,
That the great sepulchre of Christ did free,
I sing; much wrought his valor and foresight,
And in that glorious war much suffered he;
In vain 'gainst him did Hell oppose her might,
In vain the Turks and Morians armed be:
His soldiers wild, to brawls and mutinies prest,
Reduced he to peace, so Heaven him blest.

Chi la pace non vuol, la guerra s' abbia.
