Un litigante è di vincer si ingordo,
Che non dà a se, o altrui pace o riposo,
Ma ad ogni altro piacer è cieco e sordo.

Translation: A litigant to winning so devotes his energies That he never gives his neighbours or himself a moment’s rest, But for every other pleasure he has neither ears nor eyes. | Translation reported in Harbottle's Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 432.
