In the evening I found on the little table at my bedside the treatise of De Girando, laid open at the chapter: On the evil influence of the passions.
To do him even greater honour, others have gone so far as to add these two other inscriptions: PHILIPPO BRUNELLESCO ANTIQUÆ ARCHITECTURÆ INSTAURATORI S.P. Q.F. CIVI SUO BENE MERENTI. Giovan Battista Strozzi made the second: TAL SOPRA SASSO SASSO DI GIRO IN GIRO ETERNAMENTE IO STRUSSI; CHE COSÌ PASSO PASSO ALTO GIRANDO AL CIEL MI RICONDUSSI.
Baron de Girando and other philanthropists gathered around her, oblivious of the distinctions of creeds and churches, and bent only on accomplishing a successful crusade against vice and misery.
