O what a joyous day! O what a hrppy returnl A
spent heart is revived: what sweetness I feel! O Iilqlrt
of my life, o infinite joy of minel (2) Behold, m1, lo..c
returns and adorns these banks. Behold the happinr:ss
of that glance I observe. O lovely, sweet eyes, e)res

brighter than the sun! (3) Now indeed I feel in mv
breast not grief but pleasure. My bright, beautifui,
twinkling star has returned. The sun, the dawn, evervthing life-giving to me has returned. ( ) Now that god
who inflames hearts makes my life sweeti Love, ri,hn
used to keep it from me, now gives me your lovelv
face: my sweetheart, my love, my comfort and hope.

My lovely Amarillis! O heart's desire, do you not
oelieve you are my love? Believe it! and
if doubts
assail, take this arrow of mine, open my
breast, and
you shall see written on my heart, ..Amarillis
is my
love."

, A pitiiess beauty battles me with the lights of her
lovely brorv, rvith the vermilion of tr,r,o divinely .os..
cheeks, with hvo ruby lips, with beautiful tressls. (Zi
All the time she assaults me. O that on high phoebus
r.vould spur on his warhorses! O that he would
snuff
out her flames in the sea and that the cruel one would
hear my thoughts. (3) Ahl useless to flee far from her.
Now I must labor so that Love will feather h", *i.,gi,
up, up/ ye waters! and spread out your signs on
t-he
sea. (4) Ia/ho will now lend my life lreip? Even
if I am
powerless to flee, Iet no one say I have not the power
to overcome such an opponent if I try.
Che non fa, che non pub, Donna ch,b beila
For a beautifui woman, nothing is impossible. Heaven
has given her an exquisite beauiy, .rrd Lolr" has made
her glance strong as arrows. The sum of her beaut;,
enthralls, whether she speaks or is si-ient. What is therie

that a woman with a beautiful face cannot contrive?
She transfixes every heart and so great is the warmth
of her glance that she torments erren the most constant
heart with her beautiful features. O heaven, is there
an ex_ample of beaudr more rare than my own cherished
sun? Her gentle regard ad.ds even to the most beautiful
of April days. She reigns with adored rays from a
&ron9 whe"e_ the splendor of her beauty inflames her
attendants. Yes, one is forced to wondir languishing
through such beauty. And how can anyone resist who
comes upon her glance or hears her laugh? No, no
one can escape the wound of a fatal arrow from the
blind winged god. I do not know how to resist her.
