Original text and translations

Italian text Depon l'arco e l'orgoglio, Amor ch'à te non lice, Mai piu chiamarti valoros'ardito, Poich'un' pulce ha ferito Il bianco petto della mia fenice, Che già gran tempo sai, Che l'arme spendi e nol piagasti mai.

English translation Put down your bow and your pride, Love, for you may never again call yourself bold and daring: a flea has wounded the white breast of my Phoenix, on which, as you know, you have been using your weapons for a long time, and you never wounded it. (Tr. Ruth I. DeFord)
