Original text and translations

Italian text Da quei begl’ occhi ove s’accese il foco Che m’ard’ a poco a poco Vidi lagrime uscir, ond’ io pensai Ch’amorzasse la fiamma il novo umore, E mi sentì nel core Fiamma ch’estinguer non potrò più mai.

English translation From those fair eyes wherein was kindled The fire that consumes me little by little I saw tears come forth, whereupon I thought That this new draught would dampen the flame, And in my heart I felt a flame That ne’er again will I be able to extinguish.
