(Ma) l’animo gentile
gentil sempre pon mente
Al buon cuor di chi d?, non al presente.Niccolo Forteguerri
For May wol have no slogardie a-night.
The seson priketh every gentil herte,
And maketh him out of his slepe to sterte.Geoffrey Chaucer
Loke who that is most vertuous alway,
Prive and apert, and most entendeth ay
To do the gentil dedes that he can,
And take him for the gretest gentilman.Geoffrey Chaucer
