O Muses, O high genius, now assist me! ¶ O memory, that didst write down what I saw, ¶ here thy nobility shall be manifest!

O Muſa, tu, che di caduchi allori ¶ non circondi la fronte in Elicona ¶ ma sù nel cielo infra beati chori ¶ hai di ſtelle immortali aurea corona […]

1581, Torquato Tasso, Gerusalemme liberata [Jerusalem Delivered], Erasmo Viotti, Canto I, page 2:

O Muse, you who don't encircle your head with caducous laurel in Helicon, but instead, among blessed choirs up in the sky, have a golden crown of immortal stars […]

Musa, quell’uom di moltiforme ingegno ¶ dimmi, che molto errò, poich’ebbe a terra ¶ gittate d’Iliòn le sacre torri; […]

1822, Ippolito Pindemonte, transl., Odissea [Odyssey]^(https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Odissea_(Pindemonte)), translation of Ὀδύσσεια (Odýsseia) by Homer, Book I, page 1:

Non enim sunt arboris poma, sed cujusdam herbe in altum crescentis ad modum arboris, que musa appellatur; cujus folia in figura et colore foliis cujusdam herbe, que anglice dicitur radigche, multumque assimilantur, quamvis in longitudine et latitudine illa multum excedant.

14th century, Symon Semeonis, Itinerarium Symonis Semeonis ab Hybernia ad Terram Sanctam 40

They're not fruit from a tree, but from a plant that grows up in the manner of the trees, called the musa. In terms of shape and colour, its leaves resemble very much those of a plant that the English call radigche [radish], although they exceed these a lot in both length and width.
