    EPIGRAPH: Fonti e colline chiesi agli Dei; m 'udiro alfine, pago io vovro, ne mai quel fonte co 'desir miei, ne mai quel monte trapassero. (I asked the Gods for hills and springs; They listened to me at last. I shall live contented. And I shall never desire to go beyond that spring, nor shall I desire to cross that mountain.)
