But then my friend's heart let my poor heart bail;
Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard;

XXV
Whose grievous fall, when false Duessa spide,
Her golden cup she cast unto the ground,
And crowned mitre rudely threw aside;
Such percing griefe her stubborne hart did wound, 220
That she could not endure that dolefull stound,
But leaving all behind her, fled away;
The light-foot Squire her quickly turnd around,
And by hard meanes enforcing her to stay,
So brought unto his Lord, as his
deserved
pray.

Some must go off: and yet by these I see,
So great a day as this is
cheapely
bought
Mal.

Da l'ora ch'io avea
guardato
prima
i' vidi mosso me per tutto l'arco
che fa dal mezzo al fine il primo clima;
si ch'io vedea di la da Gade il varco
folle d'Ulisse, e di qua presso il lito
nel qual si fece Europa dolce carco.

You were always afraid of a shower,
Just like a flower:
I
remember
you started and ran
When the rain began.
