Come ne l'alto mar legno talora, Che da duo venti sia perco… - Ludovico Ariosto

" "
Come ne l'alto mar legno talora,
Che da duo venti sia percosso e vinto,
Ch'ora uno inanzi l'ha mandato, ed ora
Un altro al primo termine respinto,
E l'han girato da poppa e da prora.

How is it, traitor, you rejoice to spy
Two hearts discordant, one repelled, one fond?
