Sopra i Parasiti.
On Parasites.
Gli Astici, che per far al ricco honore
Porta l’huom,
che polito e ornato vedi.
Son conformi al goloso Adulatore,
Lungo
hanno il corpo, e aguzze branche e piedi,
Gliocchi vivaci e aperti a tutte l’hore:
Cosi è ripieno, e par che sempre chiedi
Il ventre loro; e ne conviti
vanno
Mordendo ognuno, e sempre accorti stanno.

Antagonism that achieves nothing
Lunarem noctu, ut speculum,[1] canis inspicit orbem:
Seque videns, alium credit inesse canem,[2]
Et latrat: sed frustra agitur vox irritas ventis,
Et peragit cursus surda Diana suos.[3]
A dog at night is looking into the moon’s disk as into a mirror and seeing himself, thinks there is another dog there; and he barks - but the sound is carried away, ineffectual, on the winds. Diana, unhearing, pursues her course.
