Original text and translations

Italian text O giovenil ardire Folle, che con liev’arme e minor forza La durissima scorza Di tanti mostri e si feri si sforza non pur hoggi ferire, Ma disfar, vien pur, lasso, Tu non conduci in qua troppo il tuo passo.

German translation O irrwitzige jugendliche Verwegenheit, die mit leichten Waffen und geringer Macht die härteste Haut von so vielen und so wilden Ungeheuern sich bemüht nicht nur nun zu verwunden, sondern zu zerstören, komm nur, ach, du wirst hier kaum eindringen können. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation O foolish youthful boldness, that with light arms and weak strength the hardest skin of so many and fierce monsters endeavours not only now to wound, but to destroy, come on, alas, you won’t have much chance to step in here. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
