Vedrai de gli avi il divulgato onore,

lunge precorso in loco erto e solingo;

tu dietro anco rimanʼ, lento cursore,

per questo de la gloria illustre arringo.

Su, su, te stesso incita: al tuo valore

sia sferza e spron quel ch'io cola dipingo.92

Raise your brows, my son, and set your eyes now upon this shield, where you will see the labours of your ancestors. You will see the spreading fame of your predecessors, their long labours in steep and desolate places. You, though, hang behind, a slow runner in this race for glory. Up, up, urge yourself on: let that which I represent there be a goad and spur to your valour.
