Italian text
Due rose fresche e colte in paradiso
l'altro ieri nascend’il di primo di Maggio
Bel dono e d'un amante antico e saggio.
Tra due minori egualmente diviso
Con dolce parlar e con un riso
Da far innamorar un uomo selvaggio
Di sfavillante e d'amoroso raggio
E l’un e l’altro fe’ cangiare il viso.
English translation
by A. S. Kline
Two fresh roses, gathered in paradise,
just now, that opened on the first of May,
a lovely gift, divided, by an older, wiser lover
between two young lovers, equally,
with such sweet speech and with a smile
that would make even a savage being love,
made each of them change their aspect
with its sparkling and amorous rays.
