Original text and translations

Italian text Le donne antique hanno mirabil cose fatto nell'arme e nelle sacre muse; e di lor opre belle e gloriose gran lume in tutto il mondo si diffuse. Apollonia e Camilla son famose, perché in battaglia eran esperte ed use; L'altre sorelle, perché furno dotte, splendono illustri, e non veggon mai notte.

English translation Great fears the women of antiquity In arms and hallowed arts as well have done, And of their worthy works the memory And lustre through this ample world has shone. Praised is Camilla, with Harpalice, For the fair course which they in battle run. [Other sisters], famous for their lore, Shine two illustrious light, to set no more. Translation by William Rose
