Original text and translations

English text

Such radiant eyes who can withstand,
That e'en in sleeping charm?
Or who resist the soft command,
Since thro' their shades they warm?

Insensible how much they shine,
As ah, how much I grieve;
I greedy gaze, you sleep supine,
Nor know the wounds you give.
