Guerrier, che d'un acciaro
impallidisce al lampo,
a dar non vada in campo
prove di sua viltà.
Se or cede a un vil timore,
se or cede alla speranza,
e qual sarà incostanza
se questa non sarà?

If a warrior should flinch
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If a warrior should flinch
at the mere flash of a dagger,
he should not enter camp to
prove his unworthiness.
Now he cedes to base fear,
then he yields to hope:
if this is not vacillation,
I know not what is!
