Ch’al prudente non convengono molti parole.
The prudent should refrain from loquacity.
Athene già per propria insegna tenne
La Civetta di buon consigli uccello.
Questa accettò Minerva (e ben convenne)
Quando la Dea cacciò del
santo hostello
La cornacchia; à cui sol quel danno avenne
Di ceder
luogo à uccel di lei men bello,
Perche la sciocca fu troppo loquace.
Saggio chi poco parla, e molto tace.
