He, full of bashfulness and truth, loved much, hoped little, and desired naught.
Brama assai, poco spera e nulla chiede.

More quotes by Torquato Tasso
Gather the rose of love, while yet thou mayest,
Loving, be loved; embracing, be embraced.
Under whose feet, subjected to his grace,
Sit nature, fortune, motion, time and place.
For in a world so mutable and blind
it's often constancy to change one's mind.
She fair, he full of bashfulness and truth,
Loved much, hoped little, and desired nought.
