Original text and translations

Italian text Udite amanti, udite meraviglia dolcissima d'Amore. La mia vita, il mio core, quella Donna già tanto sospirata, e tanto in van bramata: quella fugace è di pietà rubella, quell'unica Fenice di bellezza, quell'unica Beatrice della mia vita: quella è fatta amante; ed io il suo core, la sua vita, il suo desio.

English translation Hearken, lovers, hear of this sweetest marvel of Love. My life, my heart, that woman whom I have long sighed so for, and so much in vain desired: that flighty one who is of rebellious piety, that unique Phoenix of beauty, that unique Beatrice of my life: that one is become my lifer, and I her heart, her life, her desire. Translation by Allen Garvin
