الصفحة 16 - Guido, I would that Lapo, thou and I, Led by some strong enchantment, might ascend A magic ship, whose charmed sails should fly, With winds at will where'er our thoughts might wend, And that no change, nor any evil chance Should mar our joyous voyage; but it might be, That even satiety should still enhance Between our hearts their strict community: And that the bounteous wizard then would place Vanna and Bice and my gentle love, Companions of our wandering, and would grace With...
