So quanto a te dispiace
l'error d'un figlio ingrato:
ma pensa alla tua pace,
questa tu déi serbar.
Spettacolo novello
non è, se un arboscello
dal tronco, donde è nato,
si vede tralignar.

I know how it displeases you
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I know how it displeases you
when your son shows his ingratitude,
but think of your own tranquility,
which you must maintain.
If a young sapling
is seen to deteriorate
from the greatness of the trunk which bore it,
it is no new spectacle.
