Quanto sia dannosa la gola.
How harmful greed is.
Il Topo avezzo a roder le vivande,
Un di mal di mangiar satio e contento
Un’Ostriga
trovo capace e
grande,
Che a caso tenea aperto il monumento.
Ei v’entra
audace, e
cerca in quelle bande:
Ella tosto si chiude, e’l
serra drento.
Cosi la
gola’che
meschin condusse,
A perpetua prigion sciocco l’addusse.

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.
