Sapet’amanti
Per ch’amor è cieco?
Perchè mirando fiso
Gli occhi sereni di madonna meco
Elle co’l suo bel viso
E col divin splendore
Tols’a lui gli occhi
Et a me tols’il core.

English.png English translation

Learn, then, lovers,
Why is Love blind?
Because with me he looked
Into the eyes of my Lady;
And the beauty of her countenance
And her heavenly form
Stole away his eyes,
As they stole away my heart.
