                                         The Prince 



the old。 And these are the kind of improvements which confer reputation 

and power upon a new prince。 

     This opportunity; therefore; ought not to be allowed to pass for letting 

Italy  at   last   see   her   liberator   appear。   Nor   can   one   express   the   love   with 

which he would be received in all those provinces which have suffered so 

much   from   these   foreign   scourings;   with   what   thirst   for   revenge;   with 

what     stubborn    faith;  with   what   devotion;    with   what    tears。  What    door 

would be closed to him? Who would refuse obedience to him? What envy 

would hinder him? What Italian would refuse him homage? To all of us 

this barbarous dominion stinks。 Let; therefore; your illustrious house take 

up this charge with that courage and hope with which all just enterprises 

are   undertaken;     so   that  under   its  standard    our  native   country   may     be 

ennobled; and under its auspices may be verified that saying of Petrarch: 

       Virtu contro al Furore Prendera l'arme; e fia il combatter corto: Che 

l'antico valore Negli italici cuor non e ancor morto。 

       Virtue against fury shall advance the fight; And it i' th' combat soon 

shall put to flight: For the old Roman valour is not dead; Nor in th' Italians' 

brests extinguished。 

     Edward Dacre; 1640。
