I depart: but in the great trial to come

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

I depart: but in the great trial to come,
my fate and your present danger shall be alike, 
for as I am a brother,
I am also a son.

Make good use of your artful wiles while you can;
in me, however, you shall never see loyalty falter.
