la corona non perde splendor.
Quella colpa che guida sul trono,
sfortunata non trova perdono
ma felice si chiama valor.

The crown loses none of its brilliance
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
The crown loses none of its brilliance,
though it be stained with my brother's blood.
If the blow which guides me to the throne
is a failure, there is no hope of pardon.
If it succeeds, then it will be called courageous.
