Summary

Ch’agli nemici gli uomini sien crudi

In ogni età sen’ è veduto esempio;

Ma dar la morte a chi procuri e studi

Il tuo ben sempre, è troppo ingiusto ed empio;

E acciò che meglio il vero io ti dinudi,

Perchè costor volesser fare scempio

Degli anni verdi miei contra ragione,—

Ti diro da principio ogni cagione.

ORLANDO FURIOSO. Canto V

The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness

And time to speak it in; you rub the sore

When you should find the plaster.
