Original text and translations

Chi è fermato di menar sua vita
Su per l'onde fallaci e per li scogli
Scevro da morte con un picciol legno,
Non può molto lontan esser dal fine:
Però sarebbe da ritrarsi in porto
Mentre al governo anchor crede la vela.
Petrarca, Canzoniere 80, stanza 1.
 

English.png English translation

He who is set on living out his life
on the treacherous sea and near the rocks,
saved from death by a little vessel,
cannot be far from his own end:
unless he knows how to return to port
while the tiller still directs the sails.
Translation A.S.Kline
