Quand'io miro le rose<br>
<poem>
ch'in voi natura pose<br>
Quand'io miro le rose  
e quelle che v'ha l'arte<br>
ch'in voi natura pose
nel vago seno sparte,<br>
e quelle che v'ha l'arte
non so conoscer poi <br>
nel vago seno sparte,
se voi le rose o sian le rose voi.<br>
non so conoscer poi  
<br>
se voi le rose o sian le rose voi.
</poem>

When I look upon the roses with which nature has blessed you<br>
<poem>
and those which art has scattered upon your graceful breast,<br>
When I look upon the roses
I cannot tell whether it is you that are the roses<br>
with which nature has blessed you
or the roses that are you.<br>
and those which art has scattered
 
upon your graceful breast,
I cannot tell whether
it is you that are the roses or the roses that are you.

When I look upon the roses
with which nature has blessed you
and those which art has scattered
upon your graceful breast,
I cannot tell whether
it is you that are the roses or the roses that are you.
