La ragione, s'un'alma conseglia,
nel seno risveglia un nobile ardir.
E lusinga fallace d'Amore 
non puņ di gran core lo spirto sopir.              
When Reason counsels a soul,
it awakes in the breast a noble audacity.
And the treacherous charm of Love cannot 
lull a great heart's spirit back to sleep again.
