I wish you joy, my sun, I wish you safe,
go--God-speed--to glad success everywhere.
Vanne lieto, mio sol, vanne sicuro
Con lieto augurio ovunque il ciel li guida.

1517, 20 April, between Naples and Ischia: Pescara goes to Flanders to represent Aragonese nobility in their attempt to keep their property from being restored to Anjou nobles; from Mario Sanuto's diary we see he first escorted her to Ischia (McAuliffe, p. 43); first he took her to Ischia where they said goodbye; again Castiota seems to have gotten his hands on and saved the sonnet she either wrote for him for that day or sent him shortly thereafter.
