In una breve felicità.
On brief happiness.
Crebbe la zucca a tanta altezza, ch’ella
A
un’altissimo
pin passò la cima;
E mentre abbraccia in questa parte e in quella
I rami suoi superba oltre ogni stima:
Il Pin sen rise, e a lei cosi favella,
Breve è la gloria tua: perche non prima
Verrà il verno di nevi &
ghiaccio cinto,
Che fia ogni tuo vigor del tutto estinto.

Pagan justos por peccadores.
SEMIOTTAVA.
Muerde la piedra el perro, mas no sigue
A’l que se la tirò, como el que aquexa
A’l inocente y con furor persigue,
Y a'l que peccò sin pęna
huyr le dexa.[1]
1. Cf. Aesop, Fables 235, where bees sting the wrong person. See Erasmus, Adagia 153, Cum larvis luctari, where the ‘puppy’ comparison is quoted from Aristotle (Rhetoric 3, 4). See also Plato, Republic 5.469E.
