and who knows whether there may not also be among them one who will render great services to his country, and make his name glorious.

Then part from them with affection; leave a portion of your soul here, in this great family into which you entered as a baby,

School is a mother, my Enrico. It took you from my arms when you could hardly speak,

and now it returns you to me, strong, good, studious; blessings on it, and may you never forget it more, my son.
现在将你养育成强健善良勤勉的少年，仍还给我了。这该怎样感谢呢？你切不可把这忘记啊！
Oh, it is impossible that you should forget it! You will become a man, you will make the tour of the world,

but that modest white edifice, with those closed shutters and that little garden,
那关者的窗，有着小花园的朴素的白屋，
where the first flower of your intelligence budded, you will perceive until the last day of your life,
你知识萌芽所从产生的建筑物，将到你心上明显地浮出吧，到你终身为止，
as I shall always behold the house in which I heard your voice for the first time.
我愿你不忘记你呱呱坠地的诞生地！
THY MOTHER
你的母亲
