So chi t'accese

Our translations:  ENG
So chi t’accese;
basta per ora.
Cesare intese,
risolverà.
 
Ma tu procura
d’esser più saggio.
Fra l’armi e l’ire
giova il coraggio.
Pompa d’ardire
qui non si fa.

I know who inflames you
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
I know who inflames you.
Enough for now.
Caesar understands,
and will decide.

As for you,
wisen up.
Courage may have its uses
amongst arms and conflict.
But here, one does not show
how much one will dare.
