Ariosto


Upon her tender cheek the mingled dye is scattered, of the lily and the rose.	1
Firm as the budding fruit.	2
The spotless maid is like the blooming rose Which on its native stem unsullied grows.	3
A death-like paleness … like one who trembling waits his fatal doom.	4
Shining like glowing flame.	5
