      Per lei assai di lieve si comprende ¶ quanto in femmina foco d’amor dura, ¶ se l’occhio o ’l tatto spesso non l’accende. ¶ Non le farà sì bella sepultura ¶ la vipera che Melanesi accampa, ¶ com’ avria fatto il gallo di Gallura
      Through her full easily is comprehended how long in woman lasts the fire of love, if eye or touch do not relight it often. So fair a hatchment will not make for her the Viper which encamps the Milanese, as would have made Gallura's Cock.
