Think not that aught the fury can surpass
Of woman, when she feels that she is scorned.

— Francesco Berni

Non crediate che sia maggiore sdegno,
Che quel di donna quando e dispregiata.

More quotes by Francesco Berni

Non vien si tardi il mal che non sia presto.

Never a man unblemished virtue shows,
Save when he is the butt of fortune's blows.

He still fought stoutly on—and he was dead.

Whoe'er he be, none more than human deem,
And each may speak as good to him doth seem.

Nor power nor pleasure e'er can be enjoyed,
What time they with suspicion are alloyed.

Was never face so pleased my mind;

And yet I love her till I die.

Thomas Ford
