Original text and translations

Italian text Là dove sono i pargoletti Amori, Et altri ha teso l'arco, Altri saetta al varco, Altri polisce le quadrella d'oro, Un parete di loro, Scherzand'in verde colle o'n riva ombrosa, Fra la turba vezzosa. E se voi non havete auree saette, Le dolci parolette, E i dolci sguardi son facelle e strali, E i bei pensier'in voi son piume et ali.

English translation Where the little cupids are to be found and where one has drawn the bow, another has an arrow at the ready and a third is polishing the golden darts, it is as if you were one of them, disporting yourself on a green hillside or on a shady bank among the charming throng; and if you have no golden arrows, your sweet words and alluring glances are fire-brands and darts and beautiful thoughts are feathers and wings. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
