Ma s'umilta contra dureza vale in amar sempre con sincero core. pur pieghera l'alter cor quello strale. che renda a' sensi el perduto vigore. E la virt· de l'eccelso splendore rendera pace al mio molesto affanno. TranslationI follow love with faith, hopingfor mercy from those shining eyes which are my undoing. But if humility can prevail over callousness by always loving with a sincere heart. Love's dart which restores to the senses their lost vigour will eventually subdue her haughty heart. And the power of her most excellent beauty will change my troublesome distress into peace. Text revision and translation © |
