Nè altro avvien di cose altere e nuove In cui si preme la natura; e’l cielo E ch’ a lor parto largo s’ apparecchia. Nè Dio, suo grazia, mi si mostra altrove, Più che ’n alcun leggiadro e mortal velo; È quel sol amo, perchè ’n quel si specchia. My intention in going to Italy was not to seek for advantage or honour, but to study.
They must have 'ilgarbato, il leggiadro, it disinvolto, il lusinghiero, quel non so che, che piace, che alletta, che incanta'.

Nor hath God deigned to show himself elsewhere More clearly than in human form sublime Which, since they image Him, alone I love.
Browning, in his poem of 'Fra Lippo Lippi, has accustomed English ears to one common species of the stornello, which sets out with the name of a flower, and rhymes with it, as thus: Fior di narciso. Prigionero d'amore mi son reso, Nel rimirare il tuo leggiadro viso.
