Timore 11

TIMOR Fineo fra gli omini una torre
Converse in saxo col Meduseo volto,
Ché a' timidi fortuna non soccorre.

FEAR transformed Phineas, a tower among men,
Into stone, by the face of Medusa;
But fortune does not help the timid.

Gelosia 11

GELOSIA d'Argo e de sue viste accorte
Non fu secura mai, fin che nel piede
Con nome de Io non li for l'orme sporte.

JEALOUSY never was sure of Argus and
Of his cunning eyes, until the footsteps
With the name of Io were given to it.

Speranza 11

SPERANZA Orazio fece un leo, un drago
A far tagliar el ponte, e andar a basso
De la salute de la patria vago.

HOPE transformed Horatius in a lion, a dragon
So that he had the bridge cut, and went down
Desiring the safety of his homeland.

Amore 11

AMOR questo gran Cyclope gigante
Fece per Galatea tanto amoroso,
Che piu de lui forse non arse amante.

LOVE made this big giant Cyclops
So full of love for Galatea,
That possibly no lover burned as much as he did.
