Con ossequio, con rispetto

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Con ossequio, con rispetto
Io m'inchino e mi profondo
A un sapiente sì perfetto,
Che l'ugual non v'è nel mondo.
E l'eguale non verrà.
(Per l'orgoglio, e l'ignoranza,
Per la gran bestialità).

With deference, with respect

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

With deference, with respect
I bow and lower myself
To such a perfect man of wisdom,
Of whom there is no equal in the world.
And [his] equal will not come.
(Through pride and ignorance,
Through great brutality.)
