Example

Mit den Orsini hatte er es ganz recht errathen: wie sich bewies, als er nach der Eroberung von Faenza Anstalt machte, Bologna zu belagern, und sie dabei so schlaff zu Werke gingen.Of the Orsini he had a warning when, after taking Faenza and attacking Bologna, he saw them go very unwillingly to that attack. And as to the king, he learned his mind when he himself, after taking the Duchy of Urbino, attacked Tuscany, and the king made him desist from that undertaking; hence the duke decided to depend no more upon the arms and the luck of others.OP532794
Der Fürst, der eine Festung besitzt, und bei seinem Volke nicht verhaßt ist, kann nicht angegriffen werden: und würde er es, so müßte der Feind mit Schanden abziehen; denn die Zufälle sind in dieser Welt so mannichfaltig, daß es beinahe unmöglich ist, ein ganzes Jahr das Feld zu halten, um ihn zu belagern.Therefore, a prince who has a strong city, and had not made himself odious, will not be attacked, or if any one should attack he will only be driven off with disgrace; again, because that the affairs of this world are so changeable, it is almost impossible to keep an army a whole year in the field without being interfered with.OP537991
