Think not that aught the fury can surpass Of woman, when she feels that she is scorned. - Francesco Berni

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

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.

A certain proverb, that the whole world knows,
Says that loss also steals away our senses,
And that the man thus robbed, like madman goes
About, and right and left the blame dispenses.
