Therefore, to make this point clearer, I say that the nobles ought to be looked at mainly in two ways: that is to say, they either shape their course in such a way as binds them entirely to your fortune, or they do not.
E per chiarire meglio questa parte, dico come e' grandi si debbono considerare in dua modi principalmente. O si governano in modo, col procedere loro, che si obbligano in tutto alla tua fortuna, o no.
