Trump Pair 10 | |||
Tempo, che gli homini a la morte sproni, Nestor servasti, e si pur vinne al fine, De un viver tal non par che se ragioni. Time, you that hurry men to death, You saved Nestor, and if in the end he came to an end, It seems impossible to think of such a life. |
Oblivion di termine e confine Del tutto sei, Elice e Dido a Lethe Menasti, e famma e tempo hai in toe ruine. Oblivion, you are the end and boundary Of all, you took to Lethe Elice and Dido, And among your ruins you have fame and time. |

TIMOR de certo è a imaginarlo vano, E dove timor regna, ognun concorre Che invalido quel corpo sia e mal sano. FEAR is certainly vain when you imagine it, And where fear reigns, everyone agrees That that body is ill and not healthy. |
GELOSIA di certezza mai non pone Alcun in strada, e al ver non apre porte, E tien fra speme e dubio le persone. JEALOUSY never puts anyone on the road to certainty, it does not open the doors of truth, It keeps people between hope and doubt. |
SPERANZA desta il pover che lavora, A zappar, a spianar un monte, un lago, Che fructo spera a le fatighe ancora. HOPE wakes up the poor man who works Digging, making a mountain, or a lake, flat, Because he hopes to receive a prize for his efforts. |
AMOR de ciascun servo il disio tenta; E se `l ritrova vano, in forme tante Il volgie, che ogni di piu se lamenta. LOVE puts to trial the desire of all its servants; And if it finds it vain, it turns it in so many shapes, that he complaints more every day. |
