Italian text
Quand' amor i begli occhi a terra inchina,
E i vaghi spirt' in un sospir accoglie,
Con le sue man' et poi in voce gli scioglie,
Chiara soave angelica e divina,
Sento far del mio cor dolce rapina,
Et si dentro cangiar pensier et voglie,
Che'i dico hor fien di me l'ultime spoglie,
Se'l ciel si honesta morte mi destina.
Ma'l suon che di dolcezza i sensi lega.
Col gran desir d'udendo esser beata,
L'anima al dipartir presta, raffrena.
Così mi vivo e così avvolge, e spiega
Lo stame della vita. che m'è data,
Questa sola fra noi del ciel Sirena.
English translation
If Love her beauteous eyes to earth incline,
And all her soul concentring in a sigh,
Then breathe it in her voice of melody,
Floating clear soft angelica divine;
My heart, forth stolen so gently, I resign,
And all my hopes and wishes changed I cry:
"O may my last breath pass thus blissfully,
If Heaven so sweet a death for me design!"
But the rapt sense by such enchantment bound,
And the strong will thus listening to possess
Heaven's joys on earth my spirit's flight delay.
And thus I live; and thus drawn out, and wound
Is my life's thread in dreamy blessedness,
By this sole Syren from the realms of day.
