“There is no evil in the world without a remedy.”
Ecloga Octava; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), "Evil".
Jacopo Sannazaro was an Italian poet, humanist and epigrammist from Naples.
He wrote easily in Latin, in Italian and in Neapolitan, but is best remembered for his humanist classic Arcadia, a masterwork that illustrated the possibilities of poetical prose in Italian, and instituted the theme of Arcadia, representing an idyllic land, in European literature. Sannazaro's elegant style was the inspiration for much courtly literature of the 16th century, including Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia.

E'l vago vento spera in rete accogliere
Chi sue speranze fonda in cor di femina.
