Original text and translations

Italian text Chi vi mira renea, donna non già, ma Dea, a le gioie rinasce ed ai diletti, dunque ogni amante affretti mille volte morire, acciò che poi mille volte rinaschi a mirar voi.

German translation Wer Euch anschaut, Wiedergeborene, Frau noch nicht, aber Göttin, lebt wieder auf zu Lust und Freude, daher möge sich jeder Liebende beeilen, tausendmal zu sterben, damit er dann tausendmal wiedergeboren werde, Euch zu schauen. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation He who beholds you, reborn, not yet woman, but goddess, revives to delight and joy, therefore each love shall haste to die a thousand times, that he may then be reborn a thousand times to behold you- Translation by Gerhard Weydt
