Original text and translations

Italian text Scarpello si vedra di piombo, quale esser suole da primavera alcuna volta il cielo, quando la pioggia cade, e a un tempo il sole si sgombra intorno il nubiloso velo. E come il rosignuol dolci carole mena nei rami alor del verde stelo, cosi alle belle lagrime le piume si bagna Amore, e gode al chiaro lume.

English translation Her face was such as sometimes in the spring We see a doubtful sky, when on the plain A shower descends, and the sun, opening His cloudy veil, looks out amid the rain. And as the nightingale then loves to sing From branch of verdant stem her dulcet strain, So in her beauteous tears his pinions bright Love bathes, rejoicing in the chrystal light. by William Stewart Rose (1775-1843)
