Et primo incepit a digniori, scilicet a Guidone Guerra; et circa istius descriptionem lectori est aliqualiter immorandum, quia multi mirantur, immo truffantur ignoranter, quod Dantes, qui poterat describere istum praeclarum virum a claris progenitoribus et ejus claris gestis, describit eum ab una femina, avita sua, Domna Gualdrada.

ATHÝRIUM ANGÚSTUM Asplènium Fìlix-femina The rootstock or rhizome of the Upland Lady Fern here pictured shows how the thick, fleshy bases of the old fronds conceal the rootstock itself.

Athyrium filix-femina.

Asplenium filix-femina.

She is the vyolet, The daysy delectáble, The columbine commendáble, The jelofer amyáble; For this most goodly floure, This blossom of fressh coloúr, So Jupiter me succoúr, She flourysheth new and new In beaute and vertéw; Hac claritate gemina, O gloriosa femina, etc.

Migne, vol. 171, pp. 1698-1699: Femina dulce malum, pariter favus atque venenum, Melle linens gladium cor confodit et sapientum.

Quis suasit primo vetitum gustare parenti? Femina.

Femina causa fuit cur homo ruit a paradiso; Qua redit ad vitam, femina causa fuit.

Femina prima parens exosa, maligna, superba; Femina virgo parens casta, benigna, pia.

Femina prima parens exosa, maligna, superba; Femina virgo parens casta, benigna, pia.

Cetera similes, uno differunt, quod femina dominatur; in tantum non modo a libertate, sed etiam a servitute degenerant.

Werinorum, x, 2: si libera femina sine voluntate patris aut tutoris cuilibet nupserit, perdat omnem substantiam quam habuit vel habere debuit.

And, moreover, abduction is a special kind of case, seeing that if the participes criminis are free the femme sole, sometimes called the femina capta, is in greater danger.

Unfortunately, the opening line of this poem: Nulla tuum nobis subducet femina lectum, and what is known otherwise of the dissolute character of the poet and of all the women to whom he addressed his verses, make it only too obvious that there is here no question of purity, of respect, of adoration, of any of the qualities which distinguish supersensual love from lust.
