Preggio e splendor sei tu del secol nostro Translated by Ellen Moody

You are what is valued in our time	Preggio e splendor sei tu del secol nostro
You are the what is valued in our time-- my sun, your splendor dims all other light; whereever you are there is my shelter there this world's obscure night is clear, serene.	Preggio e splendor sei tu del secol nostro, Almo sol, che oscurando i lumi intenti Nella tua luce, ovunque alberghi e stai L'oscura notte fai chiara et serene.

1512, February 20-21(?): These lines are attributed to VC around the time of Ravenna; perhaps she wrote them just as her hero left, the day after Carnival, February 20-21 (by February 29th he was deeply involved in Seige of Brescia). They were printed by Castriota in his biography:
