(Ben dice il proverblo ch’) egli è megllo abitare colle fiere in le spilonche, che avere in casa una femmina litlgiosa e perversa.

Translation: Well says the proverb, that it is better to live with wild beasts in caves, than in the same house with a cross-grained and quarrelsome woman. | Translation reported in Harbottle's Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 297.
