Vivo, mio Sol, tu giri
Le luci, e me non miri?
Forse pietoso il fai.
Ch'io non mácciechi à sì possenti rai?
Ah, più tosto crudel, qual'hora meco
La tua luce non veggio, all'hor son cieco.

Giambattista Marino
La Lira, Seconda parte, madrigali 59, p 69

English.png English translation

I am alive, my sun; circling
Rays you cast about, and do you look not at me?
Do you do this for pity's sake,
Lest I be blinded by such powerful beams?
Ah, at once more cruel: whenever
Your light is not upon me, them am I blind.

Translation by Edmund Strainchamps
