Italian text

Caro sguardo sereno, in cui sfavilla
Quanta non vide al trove huom mai bellezza,
Parlar santo soave, onde dolcezza,
Non usata fra noi deriva et stilla
Solo di voi pensando si tranquilla
In me la tempestosa mente avezza
Mirarvi udirvi et cio piu ch'altro apprezza
Lodando amor che col suo strale aprilla.
