From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"Most noble damsels, for whose solace I have addressed myself to so long a labour, I have now, methinketh, with the aid of the Divine favour, (vouchsafed me, as I deem, for your pious prayers and not for my proper merits,) throughly accomplished that which I engaged."--The Decameron (1353) by Giovanni Boccaccio |
