It is certain that you miss great pleasure
by being unable to savor our sweetness,
and I blame your bad habits for being the cause.
Feminine beauty is a gift from heaven,
intended to be a source of joy
to every man with a gentle heart.

— Veronica Franco Poems and Selected Letters (2007)

But where is my thought wandering and roaming
by speaking of matters related to love
now that I'm about to make war?

Poems and Selected Letters (2007)

And if you think I am so dear to Phoebus
for composing poems, in the works of love
you'll find me dearer still to Venus.
