« Ben se’ tu manto che tosto raccorce, « Sì che se non s’appon di die in die, « Lo tempo va d’intorno con le force. » E dice questo per significare che senza le egregie opere dei discendenti, la nobiltà di sangue va in dileguo e cade in dispregio.

The angry bull dashed at Hercules with terrible force; but the hero was ready for the attack, and, seizing him by the horns, held him down fast to the ground in spite of his struggles, until all the people cried out that Hercules was the victor. […] The water dashed against him with great force; he had to struggle with all his might, and was out of breath when he landed his companion safely on the other shore. […] But the disc had struck the ground with such force that it rebounded, and hit the thoughtless boy on the forehead.
