Vicenzo da Filicaja Quotes
|
|
|
|
Italia! O Italia! thou who hast
The fatal gift of beauty, which became
A funeral dower of present woes and past,
On thy sweet brow is sorrow plough'd by shame,
And annals graved in characters of flame.
[It., Italia, Italia, O tu cui feo la sorte,
Dono infelice di bellezza, ond' hai
Funesta dote d'infiniti guai
Che in fronte scritti per gran doglia porte.]
Topic: Italy
Source: Italia, English rendering by Byron, "Childe Harold", canto IV, st. 42
