Original text and translations

Italian text In più leggiadro velo che non fra nubi il cielo madonna il suo bel viso discoperse, onde un raggio discese che gli occhi e’l cor m’accese. Amor, deh, che in quel punto non so se il cor fu pria degli occhi punto.

English translation In a veil lighter than the clouds in the heavens my lady revealed her beautiful face, when a ray of light descended and inflamed my eyes and heart. Love, ah, for in that prick I know not if my heard was pierced before my eyes.
