TextNel mezo a sei pagon ne vid'un biancocon cresta d'oro e con morbida penna. sn bel che dolzemente 'l cor mi spenna. E quanto pin mostrava sua belleza. onor facea ciascun d'altro colore per la legiadra vista c'ha d'amore. El suo compagno pur lo va guardando sempre cantando e da lui non si parte: ed e' da sT lo fa partir per arte. perchT le spiace 'l suo noioso canto. Poi de biltate s'en fa rota e manto. TranslationI saw a gold-crested, soft-plumed peacockamidst six others, and my heart was sweetly touched by his exceptional beauty. The more he displayed his beauty. the more the others of a different colour paid him honour. because of his lovely appearance. He has a companion who keeps singing and gazing at him, and never leaves him. But he manages to send the other peacock away because he is annoyed by his song. And he wraps himself up in his fan-like tail, like a gorgeous cloak. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
