Ludovico Ariosto Quotes
Alcun non può saper da chi sia amato,Quando felice in su la ruota siede:Però c'ha i veri e i finti amici a lato,Che mostran tutti una medesma fede.Se poi si cangia in tristo il lieto stato,Volta la turba adulatrice il piede;E quel che di cor ama riman forte,Ed ama il suo signor dopo la morte.
