say: 'Die while you're happy,
since early death is no grief, but a refuge:
and he who can die well, should not delay.”

et chi ben pò morir, non cerchi indugio.

Since the dragons of Laune and Lane and Lee are destroyed;
I’ll follow the heroes far from the light of day,
The princes my ancestors followed before Christ died.”
