Two Sides

Niccolò Machiavelli, letter to Ricciardo Bechi (March 9, 1498; on Savonarola; tr. Allan Gilbert):
And having given this short discourse, he indicated two companies: one which serves under God, namely, himself and his followers; the other under the Devil, namely, his opponents.

E, fatto questo breve discorso, fece due stiere: l'una che militava sotto Iddio, e questa era lui e sua seguaci; 1'altra sotto il diavolo, che erano gli avversari.
