Original text and translations

Italian text Correte, amanti, a prova, a mirar meco quello onde s'adorna il mondo e si fa bello! Vista dolce et acerba in cui si trova virtù di forza tale c'hor breve fa la vita, hor immortale.

English translation Come, lovers, hasten to put things to the test, to witness with me a certain thing which adorns the world and gives it all its beauty! A sight both sweet and bitter which has such might that life, as it may befall, seems short or you may feel immortal. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
