Famous quotes containing the words italian and/or rule:
“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”

Than to let clamorous demagogues betray
Our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.”
