Un pensiero nemico di pace

fece il Tempo volubile edace,

e con l'ali la falce gli diè.

Nacque un altro leggiadro pensiero,

per negare sì rigido impero,

ond'il Tempo più Tempo non è.

Translation

A thought inimical to peace

made the fickle Time voracious

and gave him his wings and his scythe.

A second, lighter thought emerges,

to negate such rigid tyranny,

whereupon Time is no longer Time.
