TranslationFor a long time, Love, your beautiful firehad mastery over me. so that it fills my heart in every part. I call this heavenly light, who has conquered me. so that it may bring solace to my pain. although I am happy to be so enflamed by such a beauty, fettered in her chain. And since she is full of every great worth. Love, make it so, I pray. that she may not be left outside your grace. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
