Sannazaro, fully Jacopo Sannazaro NULL

Italian Poet, Humanist and Epigrammist

"There is no evil in the world without a remedy."

"Envy, my son, wears herself away, and droops like a lamb under the influence of the evil eye."

"He ploughs the waves, sows the sand, and hopes to gather the wind in a net, who places his hopes in the heart of a woman."

"Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so."

"Most learned of the fair, most fair of the learned."
