Original text and translations

Italian text

Dolci amorose parolette accorte
Ch'al vostro grato suon fermate i fiumi
Sguardo soave angelici costumi
Già de la vita mia fidate scorte

Che spero io più d'amor ch'egli m'apporte
Cosa che la mia cieca vita allumi
Senza i bei rai di quei celesti lumi
O cosa senza voi che mi conforte?
