Che l’huomo dee cosiderar quello, ch’egli ha operato, & quello c’ha lasciato d’operare

Man must consider his own actions and that which he has ceased from doing.


A man (Pythagoras) pointing at some cranes flying overhead
[Click on image to enlarge]

Pythagora insegnò, che l’huom dovesse
Considerar con ogni somma cura
L’opra, che d’egli fatta il giorno havesse,
S’ella eccedeva il dritto e la misura,
E quella, che da far pretermettesse.
Cio fa la Grù, che’l volo suo misura,
Onde ne piedi suol portar un sasso
Per non cessar, o gir troppo’alto, o basso.
