Our translations: ITA
Arreste, atten, ô Mondain, où cours-tu? Escoute, enten la voix de la Vertu. Las! il passe outre: il cours après le Monde, Il va courant, fuyant, ainsi que l'onde D'un gros torrent, que l'orage des cieux, Fondu en bas, a rendu orgueiieux. Ma remontrance est un roc qu'il rencontre, Passant dessus, murmurant à l'encontre.
