Monde, pourquoy fuis‑tu?
Language: French (Français)
Monde, pourquoy fuis-tu? pour cercher asseurance.
Et si ce n'est en toy, où la trouveras-tu?
Où le Monde n'est pas du monde combattu.
Le Monde se fait-il à soi mêmes offense?
Oui trop, car en la terre, au feu, en l'air, en l'onde
Le monde s'occit, s'ard et se noie, et se pend.
Monde, fuis donc au ciel: car fol est qui s'attend
D'ancrer sa nef flottante en l'Euripe du Monde.

Perché fuggi Mondo?
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)
Perché fuggi Mondo? “Per cercare aiuto”.
E se non in te stesso, dove lo potrai trovare?
“Dove il Mondo non è dal Mondo combattuto”.
Il Mondo allora a se stesso fa male?
“Sì troppo, ché in terra, fuoco, aria e onde
il mondo si uccide: arde, annega e si impicca”.
Fuggi in cielo Mondo, perché stolto è chi attende
di ancorare la nave nell’ Euripe del Mondo.
