    [It., Non e il mondam romore alro che un fiato
    Di vento, che vien quinci et or vien quindi,

The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame,
Die fast away: only themselves die faster.
The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard,
Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,
Supply their little feeble aids in vain.
