alert and my heart my scornful looks, And what you ping, Artificer elegant
From the day I saw in my native
Freedom roof with uncertain footsteps stray.
Weapons mad, docile and intellect to febe
disputed holy Virgin;
Weapons, weapons cry, and hasten Liberdade
More disappointed every hour and obstinate lover.
Page helpless he can? Mars ugly,
See it, to work and sacred wrath nations: Italy
sits, and tends to scourge the humerus.
Yet, if Ontario Homeland absorbed
Fien my hopes, and silent and dull day,
For you my time at least conquers death.
sonnet written in 1813 home of Siena Quirina Mocenni Magiotti loved by Foscolo, while Fabre painted a portrait of the poet.
Ugo Foscolo (Zakynthos, February 6, 1778 - London, September 10, 1827)
