A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark

From a little spark bursts a mighty flame

Doubting charms me not less than knowledge. [It., Non menno che saper, dubbiar m'aggrata.]

O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore! [It., O dignitosa coscienza e netta, Come t' e picciol fallo amaro morso.]

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
