MEMOIRS


OF


MARGARET FULLER OSSOLLI.


VOL. I.


Only a learned and a manly soul
 I purposed her, that should with even powers
The rock, the spindle, and the shears control
 Of Destiny, and spin her own free hours.
Ben Jonson.


Però che ogni diletto nostro e doglía
Sta in sì e nò saper, voter, potere;
Adunque quel sol può, che col dovere
Ne trae la ragion fuor di sua soglia.
 
Adunque tu, lettor di queste note,
S’ a te vuoi esser buono, e agli altri caro,
Vogli sempre peter quel che tu debbi.
Leonardo da Vinci.
