About Jacopo Sannazaro: Jacopo Sannazaro was an Italian poet, humanist and epigrammist from Naples.
Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so.
He ploughs the waves, sows the sand, and hopes to gather the wind in a net, who places his hopes in the heart of a woman.
Envy, my son, wears herself away, and droops like a lamb under the influence of the evil eye.
Most learned of the fair, most fair of the learned.
There is no evil in the world without a remedy.
