Sovra balze scoscesi e pungenti
Il suo tempio la gloria sol ha.
Né fra gioie, piaceri e contenti
I bei voti ad apprender si va.

Only atop steep and sharp crags
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Atop steep and sharp crags,
Glory's temple stands alone.
In the company of neither Joy, Pleasure, or Contentment
does one go to learn her sacred mysteries.
