<poem> | |||
How much beauty, how much grace and splendour | |||
Was ever seen in a woman, was ever seen in a woman, | |||
Fair Angel, the entire heaven gave you | |||
So much courtesy, so much value | |||
That never reigned in a woman, never before. | |||
Everything reigns in you with pity and has its seat, | |||
So much that everyone who sees you | |||
Says that your gracious line, | |||
The heavenly eyes, the heavenly eyes | |||
The beautiful face and hair | |||
Are all together of an Angel, along with your fair name.(*) | |||
''(*)"Angela" is a common Italian name, but also the feminine form of "angel"'' | |||
