Original text and translations

Occhi leggiadri dov'amor fa nido,
Ché tanti strali ad impiagarmi il core?
Che giova saettar un che si more?

English.png English translation

Pretty eyes, where love makes his nest,
why do you send so many arrows to wound my heart?
What is the use of shooting one who is dying?
(Tr. Ruth I. DeFord)
