Lorenzo de’ Medici: Selected Poems and Prose
Link: https://www.amazon.com/Lorenzo-Medici-Se...nzo+medici
Those Italians were very cute womanizers. Yet in the title and the explanatory paratexts they do not praise the beauty of the wonderful lady - they only say "una donna" since compliments are reserved only for poetry proper. Hence we should assume that until you enter the poem, you should take it as work or labour of contingency - unna donna, names of cities, years and dates. On the other hand, when you enter the poem, everything becomes business of the divinities. Fascinating huh...
