Medici, Italy (thou) hast fame.
Why the thou/you left out may just be stylistic, but is less of an issue than the factual substance of the translation. I expect a lot more factual content to come from Stellar, maybe not found or presented in a traditional manner, but then I'm comparing content of people's findings.
You may want to lie down for a bit now. I am sorry it's not the standard academic line I have taken.

Dear Bunny, what a wonderful reply. Thank you especially for your explanation of the Medici banking line. Regarding the exclusion of "you/thou", I just hope that every odd construction is not chalked up to "It must be poetry / dramatic writing / stylistic choice" - one can see how that explanation could be abused.
You're right though, I should lie down for a bit. Oh wine, where are you?
