Thou shalt know by experience how salt the savor is of other's bread, and how sad a path it is to climb and descend another's stairs.
Lo pane altrui, e com' è duro calle
Lo scendere e'l salir per l'altrui scale.

Love hath so long possessed me for his own
And made his lordship so familiar.
She is the sum of nature's universe.
To her perfection all of beauty tends.
The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
