Additional quotes by Torquato Tasso

For love she wist was weak without those arts,
And slow; for jealousy is Cupid's food;
For the swift steed runs not so fast alone,
As when some strain, some strive him to outgone.

Woman, a thing changeable in nature,
more than whistles in the wind and more than the tip
of a supple stalk of wheat.

Ch' era al cor picciol fallo amaro morso.
