The splendors that belong unto the fame of earth are but a wind, that in the same direction lasts not long.
Di vento, che vien quinci ed or vien quindi,
E muta nome, perchè muta lato.

Love hath so long possessed me for his own
And made his lordship so familiar.
She is the sum of nature's universe.
To her perfection all of beauty tends.
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
