Prendiam il dolce ognihor che torlo accade,
Se ben d’amar alquanto ivi gustiamo;
Ch’ al mondo huom mai non è beato a pieno.

Translation: Seize we the sweets of life whene’er we may,
E’en though some bitter taste therein we find,
For ne’er on earth can man know perfect joy. | Translation reported in Harbottle's Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 396.
