Additional quotes by Torquato Tasso

Oh Dafne,
you truly had pitiless pity
when you stayed my dart.

Women have tongues of craft, and hearts of guile,
They will, they will not; fools that on them trust.

Là corre il mondo, ove più versi
Di sue dolcezze il lusinghier Parnaso;
E che 'l vero condito in molli versi,
I più schivi allettando ha persuaso.

So might we die, not envying them that live; So would we die, not unrevenged all. - Torquato Tasso
