Original text and translations

Italian text O voi troppo felici, che mirate il mio sóle e cangiate con lui sguardi e paròle; quel che a voi sopravanza, ahi, potessi io raccór per cibo a gli occhi del cor mio.

English translation Oh you, too happy people, Who look upon my sun And exchange looks and words with him, If only I could gather your leftovers As food for the eyes of my heart. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
