SCIENZA.
Learning.
Che la Musica è amata da gli Iddii.
Music is loved by the Gods.
L’arguta
Cetra col
nemico a prova
Sonava Elpino;[1] e mentre al suono è intento,
Di
saventura inusitata e nova
Ruppe una corda, onde fini il concento.
Ma
in quel difetto una Cicala giova,
Ch’a
la corda suppli con dolce accento.
Ond’ei
di bronzo una Cicala dona.
A Phebo, accio di lei sia la corona.
1. Elpino is a stock pastoral character who sometimes plays the lute..

Che si dee rimover l’Ignoranza.
Ignorance must be done away with.
Che Mostro è questo? Sphinge perche serba.
Faccia di donna,
e le sue membra veste
Piume d’augello, e di Leone ha i piede?
Dinota l’ignoranza, che procede
Da tre cagioni; o da intellecto
lieve,
O da vaghezza d’i
piacer mondani,
O da Superbia, che virtu
corrompe.
Ma l’huom, che sa perch’egli
è nato, a questa
S’oppone; e
vincitor felice vive.
