Original text and translations

Italian text Non giacinti o narcisi, ma piccioletti fior siamo, che Amore manda a voi, di beltà candido fiore. O, se il sol de' vostri occhi, pur un poco ne tocchi, saran vil alghe poi e narcisi e giacint’a fronte a noi.

French translation Nous ne sommes ni jacinthes ni narcisses Mais de minusules fleurs que l'amour vous envoie, belle fleur d'innocence. Oh, que le soleil de vos yeux nous effleurent un seul instant et jacinthes et narcisses ne seront plus dès lors qu'algues viles en comparaison.
