Concordia.

Concord

Cornicum mira inter se concordia vitae est,
Inque vicem nunquam contaminata fides.[1]
Hinc volucres has[2] sceptra gerunt, quod scilicet omnes
Consensu populi stantque caduntque duces,
Quem si de medio tollas, discordia praeceps
Advolat, & secum regia fata trahit.

Marvellous is the unanimity between crows as they live together, and their loyalty to each other, never dishonoured! For this reason the sceptre carries these birds. Assuredly all leaders stand and fall by the consent of the people. If you take away consent, tumultuous discord comes flying in and drags kings down in its wake.

Notes:

1.  See Aelian, De natura animalium 3.9. on the mutual love and loyalty of crows.

2.  Textual variant: haec.

Che si deve perseverar nelle imprese malagevoli.

One must persevere in difficult undertakings.


A chi la preme, l’honorata palma
Fa di se un’arco; e ne solleva poi,
E con impeto al ciel leva la salma.
Fanciullo ascendi, e stringi i rami suoi:
Che di che frutti t’emperai le mani,
Ch’ornan le mense, e rari son fra noi.
Non fian, si soffri, i tuoi sudori vani.
