Your honour above myself I loved. love and always will love. My happiness consisted in looking at you and prizing you above any other woman. But your beautiful face which gave me joy bids me to stay away, and thus I die of sorrow. If you go searching among a thousand lovers whose eyes burns with your exalted light. you'll find no one who more faithfully defended your valour, less caring about himself. Then, why do you keep me banished from you. for whom I would die with great pleasure? I well remembered the sorry fate of many honest and faithful lovers. whom ungrateful women rewarded with imprisonment, exile and even death. But true love holds a lover so strongly as to dispel every fear from his breast. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
