Che quel, ch’è; sopra di noi, non appartiene a noi.
That which is above us is no business of ours.
Legato con saldissima catena
Sopra Caucaso ogn’hor
Prometheo giace;
Ove gli rode con eterna pena
Il cuor mai sempre
un’Aquila
rapace.
Cosi d’alti
pensier la mente piena
Suol esser resa
senza haver mai pace
Di chi di saper troppo arde in desio
Siocco; e di
riguardar nel seno a Dio.
