Vedi l’ape ch’ingegnosa
Su quei for vola e riposa
Dove più trova d’umor.

Ne si arresta ancor che bello
Sembri a lei di questo e quello
Solo e semplice il color.

Consider the bee, who cunningly
flits among the flowers and rests
wherever it suits him best.

He never stops on account of how beautiful
this or that bloom seems to him,
but only and simply on account of its color.
