che di viltà mi spoglia,
in mio favor s'unisse con la voglia.

Ma ahimé! che mi si muove un gelo
Ma ahimé! che mi si muove un gelo
e temo non mi toglia
e temo non mi toglia
il cor di quel che l'occhio più m'invoglia.

Felice me, se de i bei lumi un raggio,
che di viltà mi spoglia,
in mio favor s'unisse con la voglia.
Servendo havete a cui par non ha 'l mondo
in questo mortal velo.
Non fora al mio bello stato secondo
se non ch'i viva in cielo.
Ma ahimé! che mi si muove un gelo
e temo non mi toglia
il cor di quel che l'occhio più m'invoglia.

English.png English translation

Happy would I be, if a ray from those beautiful eyes,
which would strip me of cowardice,
were united–for my benefit–with my desire.
You have served the one who has no equal
in this world, under this mortal veil.
There couldn't be a state better than the present one,
short of being in paradise itself.
But, alas!, an icy feeling comes over me
and I am afraid that the heart will draw me away
from the one that most attracts my eye.
