Erano i capei d’oro a l’aura sparsi
Che’n mille dolci nodi gl’avolgea
E’l vago lume oltra misura ardea
Di quai begl’occhi c’hor ne son si scarsi;
E’l viso di pietosi color farsi
Non so se vero o falso mi parea.
I’ che l’esca amorosa al petto havea
Qual meraviglia se di subit’arsi.}}

Erano i capei d’oro a l’aura sparsi
Che’n mille dolci nodi gl’avolgea
E’l vago lume oltra misura ardea
Di quai begl’occhi c’hor ne son si scarsi;
E’l viso di pietosi color farsi
Non so se vero o falso mi parea.
I’ che l’esca amorosa al petto havea
Qual meraviglia se di subit’arsi.

Canzoniere 90 (part)
Latin.png Latin text

Artifex mirus es aeterne Deus
Tu cardines coelorum solidasti
Tu mumen fulgens tribuisti
Soli & Lunae cursum circum terrae globum
Tu Iridem formasti discolorem.
Per te facti sunt rores & pruinae
Terra gramine per te conuestitur
Labuntur aquae montibus o pacis.

English.png English translation

She let her gold hair scatter in the breeze
that twined it in a thousand sweet knots,
and wavering light, beyond measure, would burn
in those beautiful eyes, which are now so dim:
and it seemed to me her face wore the colour
of pity, I do not know whether false or true:
I who had the lure of love in my breast,
what wonder if I suddenly caught fire?
