Original text and translations

Italian text Due begl'occhi lucente anzi due stelle. Per pena ch'ebbi ardir mirarli un poco; Esca m'han fatto d'invisibil fuoco.

English translation Two beautiful eyes shining or rather, two stars. At risk of pain I dared to look at them a little; They have made me a snare of invisible fire. Translation by James Gibb
