Original text and translations

Italian text Ben fu l'ape ingegnosa che vi punse il bel viso quanto a voi cruda tant'altrui pietosa; volse, per vostro avviso far d'altrui la vendetta con voi, vaga angioletta, novell'ape d'amore: forse senza pietà pungete il core.

English translation The crafty bee that stung your lovely face, was as cruel to you as it was merciful to others; it wanted, upon your advice, to take revenge for others with you, lovely little angel, oh new bee of love: perhaps without pity, you sting the heart. Translation by Allen Garvin
