Additional quotes by Ludovico Ariosto

Orlando Furioso, trans. Guido Waldman (OUP Oxford, 1999),

His eyes were almost sunken in his head;
His face was thin and fleshless as a bone.
His tangled, bristling hair, inspiring dread,
And shaggy beard were wild to look upon.

Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.

Of them I thought it wiser not to treat. So, leave the bitter and retain the sweet. - Ludovico Ariosto
