Text

Non corer troppo e tien la mano al freno.
chT chi vuol ir pi· forte che non puote
tosto si stanca, e subito percuote
e cade in terra et ivi vene a meno.

Dunque non aver fretta, va di passo.
chT, se tu cadi e truovite nel basso.
amaro sentirai pi· che veneno.

Translation

Don't run too fast, and hold the reins in your hand;
for, whoever wants to run faster than he can.
soon tires, and suddenly bumps into something
and collapses to the ground in a faint.

Therefore don't be in a hurry, go at a walking pace;
because, should you fall and find yourself in a spot.
you will feel more bitterness than if you had taken poison.
