"Curiosities of Literature, Vol. 1 (of 3)"
Isaac D'Israeli
After this manner by that shape divine, To make clear in me my short-sightedness, Was given to me a pleasant medicine; And as good singer a good lutanist Accompanies with vibrations of the chords, Whereby more pleasantness the song acquires, So, while it spake, do I remember me That I beheld both of those blessed lights, Even as the winking of the eyes concords, Moving unto the words their little flames.
"Divine-Comedy-Longfellow-s-Translation-Complete"
Dante Alighieri
Instead of dropping down dead on the lute for envy, she thought it better to run away with the lutanist for love.
