by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Se minore è in noi l'orgoglio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se minore è in noi l’orgoglio,
la virtù non è minore;
né per noi la via d’onore
è un incognito sentier.
 
Lungi ancor dal Campidoglio
vi son alme a queste uguali;
pur del resto de’ mortali
han gli dei qualche pensier.
