(Che) non torri superbi e forti mura, Non larghe fosse, non fiumi vicini Fan da’ nimici una città sicura, Ma la fede e il Valore valor de’ cittadini.


— VIII, 17.
— Translation: Not frowning battlement nor lofty tower,
Not trenches wide nor river running by-
Shall save a city from her foeman’s power,
But her sons’ valour and fidelity.
— Translation reported in Harbottle’s Dictionary of quotations French and Italian (1904), p. 380.
