Original text and translations

Italian text L'aura soave, che dal chiaro viso Move col suon de le parole accorte, Per far dolce sereno ovunque spira;   Quasi un spirto gentil di paradiso Sempr'in quell'aere par che mi conforte: Sì che'l cor lasso altrove non respira. Francesco Petrarca, Second part of Sonetto 85 (Lasso, quante fiate Amor m'assale); Canzoniere 109

English translation The gentle breeze from her bright face moves with the sound of wise words making a sweet harmony where it blows, as if a gentle spirit from Paradise seems always to comfort me, in that air, so that my heart won't let me breathe elsewhere. Translation by A.S.Kline
