(dell'ombra che si move coll'omo)
Vedrassi forme e figure d'omini o
d'animali, che seguiranno essi animali e
omini, dovunque fuggiranno : e tal fia il
moto dell'un quant'è dell'altro, ma parrà
cosa mirabile delle varie grandezze in che
essi si trasmutano.

Enigma V

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

(De l'ombre qui se meut avec l'homme)
On verra les formes et les figures d'hommes ou
d'animaux, qui suivront des êtres animaux et
humains, où qu'ils fuient : et tel sera le
mouvement de l'un que celui de l'autre, mais il paraîtra
chose merveilleuse par la grande variété dans
les changements de leurs tailles.
