Chi lascia impunito
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Chi lascia impunito
d'un solo l'error,
ogn'altro fa ardito
a farne un peggior.
Chi tollera un empio,
e 'l vuol sostener,
fa poi con l'esempio
cent'altri cader.

Who leaves unpunished even one...
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Who leaves unpunished even one wrongdoing
provokes the boldness of others,
who will commit worse offenses.
Who tolerates a villain
and wishes to maintain him
shall cause by this example
a hundred people to fall.
