E Democrito andar tutto pensoso
Per suo voler di lume e d’oro casso;
Vidi Ippia, il vecchiarel che già fu oso
Dir: - Io so tutto, - e poi di nulla certo- I saw Archimedes looking down, and Democritus going immersed in thought, by his own will without light or gold; I saw Hippias, the old man that dared to say: "I know everything", and yet sure of nothing
