Lamentaciones 4

Più felici sono stati gli uccisi di spada di quelli che muoion di fame; poiché questi deperiscono estenuati, per mancanza de’ prodotti dei campi.

Más dichosos fueron los muertos á cuchillo que los muertos del hambre; porque éstos murieron poco á poco por falta de los frutos de la tierra.

They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for lack of the fruits of the field.
