Torquato Tasso Quote

Women have tongues of craft, and hearts of guile,
They will, they will not; fools that on them trust;
For in their speech is death, hell in their smile.
[It., Femmina e cosa garrula e fallace:
Vuole e disvuole, e folle uom chi sen fida,
Si tra se volge.]

Godfrey of Bulloigne: Or, The Recovery of Jerusalem (ed. 1726)
