GIAMBATTISTA GUARINI (GIOVANNI BATTISTA GUARINI)
Italian poet
(1537 - 1612)

Far worse it is
  To lose than never to have tasted bliss.
    [Fr., Che mai
      Non v'avere o provate, o possedute.]
      - Pastor Fido [Love]

The proud daughter of that monarch to whom when it grows [elsewhere] the sun never sets.
  [Lat., Altera figlia
    Di quel monarea a cui
      Ne anco, quando annotta, il Sol tramonta.]
      - Pastor Fido,
        on the marriage of the Duke of Savoy with Catherine of Austria
        [Possession]
