Occhi miei lassi mentre | Occhi miei lassi, mentre ch’io vi giro | ||
nel bel viso di quella che v’ha morti, | |||
pregovi siate accorti, | |||
ché già vi sfida Amore, ond’io sospiro. | |||
Morte | |||
Morte pò chiuder sola a’ miei penseri | |||
l’amoroso camin che [g]li conduce | |||
al dolce porto de la lor salute; | |||
ma puossi a voi celar la vostra luce | |||
per meno obgetto, perché meno interi | |||
siete formati, et di minor virtute. | |||
Però, dolenti, anzi che sian venute | |||
l’ore del pianto, che son già vicine, | |||
prendete or a la fine | |||
breve conforto a sí lungo martiro. | |||

<poem> | |||
Weary eyes of mine, as I turn you | |||
towards the beautiful face that killed you, | |||
please be wary, | |||
for Love awaits you defiantly; hence my sighs. | |||
Only death can preclude my thoughts | |||
from wandering the loving path that would bring them | |||
to the sweet haven of their salvation; | |||
but may light be hidden to you | |||
by a lesser obstacle, for you are made | |||
of lesser virtue and constitution. | |||
Thus, albeit in pain, before the crying | |||
hours arrive —and they are near—, | |||
take some brief respite now, | |||
at the end of such long suffering. | |||
