Original text and translations

Italian text Vaneggio od è pur vero ch'io mi senta nel core nova fiamma d'amore?   Se freddo era pur dianzi, e lontan d'ogni foco, chi m'ha spinto sì innanzi, ch'io n'ardo a poco a poco? Il mio ardito pensiero, vago di quel splendore onde ne vien l'ardore.

English translation Am I dreaming or is it true that I feel in my heart a new flame of love?   If it were cold but recently, and far from every fire, who has pushed me so far forth, that I burn of it bit by bit? My daring imagination, eager for that splendor from which comes the passion. Translation by Allen Garvin
