Quanta beltà, quanta gratia e splendore
Si vidde in donna mai,
Vaga angioletta tutt’il ciel vi diede
Quant’ alta cortessia, quanto valore
Regnò in donna gia mai, gia mai
Tutt'in voi regna con pietate e sede
tal che chiunque vi vede
Dice che i bei sembienti vostri e costumi santi,
I divia occhi,
il bel volto e le chiome
D’Angela son insieme col bel nome.

English.png English translation

How much beauty, how much grace and splendour
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 and virtues,
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"
