Alme incaute che torbide ancora
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Alme incaute che torbide ancora
non provaste l’umane vicende,
ben lo veggo, vi spiace, v’offende
il consiglio d’un labbro fedel.
Confondete con l’utile il danno;
chi vi regge credete tiranno;
chi vi giova chiamate crudel.

Imprudent souls who still have not
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Imprudent souls who still have not
tested human nature,
I well see that the counsel of faithful lips
displeases you and offends you.
You confuse boons with wounds.
The one who rules over you,
you believe to be tyrannical,
and you believe him cruel who benefits you.
