Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain

But even in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the germs of this idea can be found in the fickle way that the townspeople first ostracize and almost lynch Muff Potter only to turn around when he is proven innocent and "fondle him as lavishly as abused before"

1. La donna é mobile
La donna é mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muto d’accento - e di pensiero.
Sempre un'amabile
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso - e menzogner

Women are fickle,
As feathers in the wind,
Each moment changes their minds.
In tears, or even smiles,
Yes, women's lovely face,
Forever beguiles us!
