Al tardar della vendetta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Al tardar della vendetta,
o la scorda o non l'aspetta,
e se n' ride l'offensor.
Alfin l'empio scorger suole
che in esempio il ciel lo vuole
castigato dall'error.

Delaying vengeance
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Delaying vengeance
causes him who has offended
to forget it or not to expect it,
and so he is apt to mock it.
Finally the wretch notices
that heaven desires him
to be punished as a warning to others.
