TranslationA noble and beautiful peregrine falconwas following a sparrow-hawk lifting off the fist of a woman. The beautiful woman called it back, so that it would not be taken by a larger bird of prey, such as the one following the bird which flew off her hand. The strength of love which was within that bird made the returning sparrow-hawk change its course. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
