MEMOIRS

OF

MARGARET FULLER OSSOLLI.

VOL. I.

Only a learned and a manly soul
I purposed her, that should with even powers
The rock, the spindle, and the shears control
Of Destiny, and spin her own free hours.
⁠Ben Jonson.

Però che ogni diletto nostro e doglía
Sta in sì e nò saper, voter, potere;
Adunque quel sol può, che col dovere
Ne trae la ragion fuor di sua soglia.

Adunque tu, lettor di queste note,
S’ a te vuoi esser buono, e agli altri caro,
Vogli sempre peter quel che tu debbi.
⁠Leonardo da Vinci.
