Wanting Is Not Enough, Long And You

Rarely Do Great Beauty And Great Virtue Dwell Together.

Often On Earth The Gentlest Heart Is Fain To Feed And Banquet On Another's Woe.

To Begin With Myself, Then, The Utterances Of Men Concerning Me Will Differ Widely, Since In Passing Judgment Almost Every One Is Influenced Not So Much By Truth As By Preference, And Good And Evil Report Alike Know No Bounds.

For Virtue Only Finds Eternal Fame.

I Desire That Death Find Me Ready And Writing, Or If It Please Christ, Praying And Intears.
