E quanto pi· mi sforzo, pi· m'aretra da sT quel volto che mi prese a l'esca di due begli ochi pi· duri che petra. per che in vano la mie lenza pesca. Ma io non finir= per= la tresca d'amor seguire pel viso ch'io miro. TranslationI swing between hope and chancebut cannot find a remedy to my torment. The more I try, the further I am repulsed by her, whose face caught me on the hook baited with two bright eyes, harder than stone. In vain I cast my line. I will not stop, however, from pursuing the amorous dalliance with the face I admire. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
