L’uomo saggio sopra del suo dosso
Non deve portar peso che lo sfianchi,
Onde dica piangendo : io non lo posso.

Translation: Let no man on his back, if he be wise, A burden bind that is beyond his strength, Whence, weeping, he ’I cannot bear it’ cries. | Translation reported in Harbottle’s Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 338.
