In più leggiadro velo
che non fra nubi il cielo
madonna il suo bel viso discoperse,
onde un raggio discese
che gli occhi e’l cor m’accese.
Amor, deh, che in quel punto
non so se il cor fu pria degli occhi punto.
 

English.png English translation

In a veil lighter
than the clouds in the heavens
my lady revealed her beautiful face,
when a ray of light descended
and inflamed my eyes and heart.
Love, ah, for in that prick
I know not if my heard was pierced before my eyes.
