Aiuto perpetuo.

Everlasting help.


Di duo perigli il buono e fido scudo
Serbato m’ha: di l’un mentr’era a fronte
E combattea col mio nemico crudo,
C’havrià; potuto uccider Rodomonte:[1]
L’altro, ch’in mar sendo sommerso e spinto,
Portommi al lido, ond’ho la morte vinto.

Notes:

1.  Rodomonte is the felon par excellence. Here the sense is that a shield helped defeat an enemy so strong that he could have killed even Rodomonte.

Che la vera amicitia mai non muore.

True friendship never dies.


La vite, che l’ignudo arido legno
Abbraccia, e stringe: & hor gli rende il merto
D’esser già stato a lei fido sostegno,
E’l grato animo suo dimostra aperto,
Ci ammonisce a cercare amici tali,
Che i legami d’amor sianno immortali.
