Alas! the more I look at her the more my mind is aflame with her fire: though she is cruel to me, she has pierced my heart with a deadly dart, and deprived me of peace. But you, Love, who are the main cause of all this. pray, show the virtue of your bow. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
