Ragion sempre addita
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ragion sempre addita
ad alma gentile
che amata o schernita
lo stabil suo stile
non cangi, no, no.
Io pur seguirò.
Che sciogliere il piè
dai lacci di fè
non tento, non vò;
io pur seguirò.

Reason always points out
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Reason always points out
to the gentle soul
that, loved or scorned,
its steady manner
it should not change, no, no.
I also will follow [this principle].
To untie my foot
From the laces of faithfulness
I do not attempt, I do not want;
I also will follow.
