Italian text
Donò Cinzia a Damone
Una rosa, cred'io, di paradiso
E si vermiglia in viso
Donandola si fece e sì vezzosa
Che parea rosa che donasse rosa.
Allor disse il pastore,
Con un sospir d'amore,
Perché degno non sono
d'aver la rosa donatrice in dono?
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Cinzia gave Damone
a rose, from paradise I believe,
and in so doing blushed in such a way
and looked so charming
that it seemed as if one rose were presenting another.
Then the shepherd said
with a lovelorn sigh,
‘Why am I not worthy
to have the rose that is doing the giving?’
