With envy of my sweet pipings.
I sang of the dancing stars 25
I sang of the d?dal earth
And of heaven and the giant wars
And love and death and birth.
And then I changed my pipings¡ª
Singing how down the vale of M?nalus 30
I pursued a maiden and clasp'd a reed:
Gods and men we are all deluded thus!
It breaks in our bosom and then we bleed.
All wept¡ªas I think both ye now would
If envy or age had not frozen your b...Read more of this...

...mi si partia dinanzi al volto,
anzi 'mpediva tanto il mio cammino,
ch'i' fui per ritornar pi? volte v?lto.
Temp'era dal principio del mattino,
e 'l sol montava 'n s? con quelle stelle
ch'eran con lui quando l'amor divino
mosse di prima quelle cose belle;
s? ch'a bene sperar m'era cagione
di quella fiera a la gaetta pelle
l'ora del tempo e la dolce stagione;
ma non s? che paura non mi desse
la vista che m'apparve d'un leone.

E qual ? quei che disvuol ci? che volle

And just as he who unwills what he wills
and shifts what he intends to seek new ends
so that he's drawn from what he had begun,

Io rispuosi: «Madonna, s? devoto
com'esser posso pi?, ringrazio lui
lo qual dal mortal mondo m'ha remoto.
Ma ditemi: che son li segni bui
di questo corpo, che l? giuso in terra
fan di Cain favoleggiare altrui?».
Ella sorrise alquanto, e poi «S'elli erra

Or che di là dal mal fiume dimora,

Desta il fior novo di strania favella,
Mentre io di te, vezzosamente altera,
Canto, dal mio buon popol non inteso
E'l bel Tamigi cangio col bel Arno

Seppi ch' Amor cosa mai volse indarno.
