LIMERNO: Ogni cosa che ad essere patisce durezza, lo più delle volte eccellente diventa: laonde Focilla, donna, come si vede, prudentissima, contristandosi prima di cotal leggerezza a lei per ventura sortita, or che reuscita la vede in maggior suo onore, or giubila e saltella. Ma vengo a l'oscurissimo soggetto de li disordinati trionfi di Falcone, al quale, sopra tutti gli altri gentile, doveva la miglior fortuna accadere.

LUNA, APPICCATO, PAPA, IMPERATORE, PAPESSA

Europa mia, quando fia mai che l'una

parte di te, c'ha il turco traditore,

rinfràncati lo Papa o Imperatore,

mentre han le chiavi in man, per lor fortuna?


Aimè! la traditrice ed importuna

ripose in man di donna il summo onore

di Piero e tiene l'imperial furore

sol contra il giglio e non contra la Luna.


Che se 'l papa non fusse una Papessa

che per un piè Marcin sospeso tiene,

la Luna in griffo a l'aquila vedrei.


Ma questi papi o imperatori miei

fan si, che mia Papessa far si viene

la Luna, e vo' appiccarmi da me stessa.

LIMERNO: Every thing that endures hardness in its life, most of the times becomes excellent: in this way Focilla, a woman that we see is very prudent, was at first saddened by such lightness that happened to her; now that she see that it all turned in an increase of her honour, now is happy and goes jumping around. Now I turn to the very dark subject of the disordered triumphs of Falcone. He is gentler than all the others, so he should have had the best fortune.

MOON, HANGED-MAN, POPE, EMPEROR, PAPESSE

Dear Europe, when will it happen that

that part of you, owned by the treacherous Turk,

will be brought back by the Pope or Emperor,

who have the Fortune of holding the keys in their hands?


Poor me! she is treacherous and untimely

and put in a woman's hand the higher honour

of Peter; she also keeps the Imperial anger

against the fleur-de-lis and not against the Moon.


If the pope were not a Papesse,

that Marcin keeps hanged by her foot,

I would see the Moon in the claws of the eagle.


But these popes and emperors that I have

make so that my Papesse wants that

the Moon comes to her, and I want to hang myself.
