What is it that had caught your interest so and makes you lag behind?' My master [Virgil] asked, 'What do you care of they are whispering? Keep up with mr and let those people talk!

"Lenivosti sa teraz zbaviť treba,"
riekol môj vodca, "sotva dôjdu slávy,
čo na perí sa mäkko uvelebia.

A ten, kto bez nej márny život strávi,
len takú stopu nechá v svete celom
jak v dielke dym a pena v prúde riavy,

A preto vstaň a slabost svoju prelom
so silou duch, ktorý všetko zdolá,
ak neklesne pod svojím ťažkým telom."
