Se si nasconde
tra verdi fronde
benché bambina
serpe insidiosa,
men velenosa
ella non è.
Nel pargoletto
tuo dolce oggetto
di quella serpe
temer si de'.

If amidst green fronds
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If amidst green fronds,
an insidious serpent should hide,
though she be young,
she is no less venomous.
In your offspring,
though you should find him sweet,
one must fear such a serpent.
