He desired that his body might be carried to Naples, where he had passed many happy years; and that the following distich, written in his last sickness, should be inscribed upon his tomb: Mantua me genuit: Calabri rapuere: tenet nunc Parthenope: cecini pascua, rura, duces.
When she returned from Sir Anthony's to her mother's lodgings, she found Herminia, very pale, in the sitting-room, waiting for her.

In the first sense the artist has intended simply to express the advent of the Divinity on earth in the form of an Infant, and the motif is clearly taken from a text in the Office of the Virgin, Virgo quem genuit, adoravit.
"Hic claudor Dantes patriis extorris ab oris, Quem genuit parvi Florentia mater amoris." "Here I am enclosed, Dante, exiled from my native country, Whom Florence bore, the mother that little did love him." Lorenzo the Magnificent The struggle in which Dante had played a leading part did not cease for many years after the poet had died in exile.
