Idio giusto, non basti: qua vegiam buon lor colpi sterminare. Mundissimo, se sdegni e' maculati carmi superbi, e ambiziosi diri. movan nostri sospiri te, a vendicar gia l'onte d'i' sforzati. Chi falso monta, folminando piove. Chi tosto 'ngrassa tosto si dissolve. TranslationO just God, you disliked the ungratefulwhom you damned before the creation of the world. And yet it was not enough: here we see the unworthy being exterminated by their blows. O most pure One, if you hate corrupt boastful songs, and pretentious statements. may you be moved by our complaints to avenge the shame of those who have been wronged. Whoever rises through falsehood falls like rain at lightning speed. Whoever grows fat quickly, quickly wastes away. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
