“I go to prove my soul.
“I see my way, as birds their trackless way.
“In some time, God’s good time, I shall arrive;
“He guides me and the bird. In his good time!”
Browning.
 
“One, who, if he be called upon to face
“Some awful moment, to which Heaven has joined
“Great issues, good or bad for human kind,
“Is happy as a lover, and attired
“With sudden brightness, like a man inspired;
“And, through the heat of conflict, keeps the law
“In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw.”
Wordsworth.
 
“Italia! Italia! O tu cui feo la sorte
“Dono infelice di bellezza, ond’ hai
“Funesta dote d’ infiniti guai,
“Che in fronte scritti per gran doglia porte,
“Deh, fossi tu men bella, ò almen più forte!”
Filicaja.
