The craftsman is in his own craft beguiled. - Torquato Tasso

"Composto è lor d'intorno il rogo omai, e già le fiamme il mantice v'incita, quand'il fanciullo in dolorosi lai proruppe, e disse a lei ch'è seco unita: "Quest'è dunque quel laccio ond'io sperai teco accoppiarmi in compagnia di vita? questo è quel foco ch'io credea ch'i cori ne dovesse infiammar d'eguali ardori?

Greek faith the due of him who is not known.

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.
