Original text and translations

Italian text Al primo vostro sguardo Fui d'amoroso dardo Ferito così forte Ch'io grido: "O dolci lumi, Fate ch'io non consumi!" Poi mirando le trezze Vidi tante bellezze, E tanto fu l'ardore, Ch'io grido: "O chiome d'oro, Per voi abbrugio e moro!" La bocca e le parole, Uniche, al mondo sole, Son sì potenti e forti, Ch'io grido: "O bocca sola, Ov'Amor scherza e vola. Al fin la leggiadria Di voi, signora mia, È così grande e forte, Che basta solamente A innamorar la gente.

English translation At your first look I was by a loving arrow So deeply wound That I cry "Oh sweet lights, Please let me not wear out!"
