" PAOLO E FRANCESCA. R.A.

"Ma solo un punto fu quel che ci vinse Quando legemmo il disiato riso Esser baciato da cotanto amante, Questi, che mai da me non fia diviso, La bocca mi baci tutto tremante: Galeotto fu'l libro e chi lo scrisse: Quel giorno piu non vi legemmo avante."

... "Not yet--not yet-- Still there is trial for thee, still the lot To bear (the Father wills it) strife and care; With this sweet consciousness in balance set Against the world, to soothe thy suffering there Thy Lord rejects thee not.
