Italian text
La misera farfalla par,
che si prend'a gioco di volar,
di scherzar intorn'al foco,
e tante volte scherza,
che se fugge la prim'arde la terza.
Anch' io nel foco d'un lucente sguardo
volai scherzando hor da dovero n'ardo.
English translation
The wretched moth in game
flutters round the flame,
knows not how fire can maim:
the first time all is well,
the third sounds his death knell.
Once I flew without a care
near the flame of a pair of eyes so fair,
transfixed by one I did adore:
yet truly now I burn no more.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank
