Original text and translations

Italian text Questi tuoi occhi ardenti Ch’abruciano le genti Presto si smorzeranno E le persone più non arderanno. Queste d’or chiome erranti Con che leghi li amanti Presto s’inbiancheranno E le persone più non legheranno. Allor ti guarderai Nel specchio poi dirai: Bellezza non rinuova Così mi penso, ahimè, ma non mi giova.

English translation These ardent eyes of yours Which set people ablaze Will soon die down And people will no longer be enflamed by them. These wandering golden locks that bind lovers to you will soon go white And people will no longer be entrapped by them. Then you'll look In the mirror then will say: Beauty does not renew itself So I think, unfortunately, it is useless to me. Translation by James Gibb
