Original text and translations

Italian text Dalle labbia rosate spira dolce aura di celesti odori, tra le perl'escon fuori l'angeliche parole entro formate, così soave e grate che con lor dolce accenti ponno fermar il sol, placare i venti. Quivi infiammato di lucent'ardore, dolce ragiona e dolce ride Amore.

English translation From rosy lips breathes a sweet breeze of heavenly scents, there amidst the pearls that exit forth the angelic words therein formed, so sweet and pleasant that with their sweet accents can halt the sun, calm the winds. There inflamed by bright ardor, Love speaks and smiles with sweetness. Translation by Allen Garvin
