Original text and translations

Italian text La verginella è simil’a la rosa Che in bel giardin su la nativa spina, Mentre sola e secura riposa, Né gregge né pastor se le avvicina; L’aura soave e l’alba rugiadosa, L’acqua e la terra al suo favor s’inchina. Giovani vaghi e donne innamorate Amano averne e seni e tempie ornate. Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1535): Orlando Furioso, Canto I, stanza 42

English translation The virgin has her image in the rose Sheltered in garden on its native stock, Which there in solitude and safe repose, Blooms unapproached by shepherd or by flock. For this earth teems, and freshening water flows, And breeze and dewy dawn their sweets unlock: With such the wistful youth his bosom dresses. With such the enamored damsel braids her tresses. by William Stewart Rose (1775-1843)
