>Dear Colleagues, I'm translating a sonnet by
>Gaspara Stampa (the one usually numbered 220) in
>which she appears to describe her lover's eyes
>as "due fide scorte". This is not a metaphor I
>have discovered anywhere else, and I wonder if
>others know of works in which it might appear.
>No etymological dictionary to which I have
>access records this use of "scorte".
>Your suggestions will be much appreciated.
>
>Here are the lines in question:
> "a voi convien per quel gentil instinto,
>che natura e virtú v'han dato in sorte,
>volger pietoso le due fide scorte
>verso chi di suo grado avete vinto."
>
>Grazie tante in anticipo,
>Adam Elgar
