I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

Das sage ich nach der Unehre, als wären wir schwach geworden. Worauf aber jemand kühn ist (ich rede in Torheit!), darauf bin ich auch kühn.
Dígolo cuanto a la afrenta, como si nosotros hubiésemos sido flacos. Empero en lo que otro tuviere osadía (hablo con locura), también yo tengo osadía.
Para vergüenza nuestra lo digo: hemos sido débiles. Pero en lo que alguien se atreva —hablo con insensatez—, yo también me atrevo.
J'ai honte de le dire, nous avons montré de la faiblesse. Cependant, tout ce que peut oser quelqu'un, -je parle en insensé, -moi aussi, je l'ose!
Io lo dico a nostro vituperio, noi siamo stati deboli; e pure, in qualunque cosa alcuno si vanta, io lo dico in pazzia, mi vanto io ancora
Envergonhado o digo, como se nós fôssemos fracos, mas no que qualquer tem ousadia (com insensatez falo) também eu tenho ousadia.
說來慚愧,在這方面好像我們是太軟弱了。 然而,我說句蠢話,人在甚麼事上敢誇口,我也敢誇口。
