Che l’huomo dee cosiderar quello, ch’egli ha operato, & quello c’ha lasciato d’operare
Man must consider his own actions and that which he has ceased from doing.
Pythagora insegnò, che l’huom
dovesse
Considerar con ogni somma cura
L’opra, che d’egli
fatta il giorno havesse,
S’ella
eccedeva il dritto e la
misura,
E quella, che da far pretermettesse.
Cio fa la Grù, che’l
volo
suo misura,
Onde ne piedi suol portar un sasso
Per non cessar, o gir
troppo’alto, o basso.
