Original text and translations

Italian text Non al suo amante piú Dïana piacque, quando per tal ventura tutta ignuda la vide in mezzo de le gelide acque, ch'a me la pastorella alpestra et cruda posta a bagnar un leggiadretto velo, ch'a l'aura il vago et biondo capel chiuda, tal che mi fece, or quand'egli arde 'l cielo, tutto tremar d'un amoroso gielo. Canzoniere 52

English translation Diana was not more pleasing to her lover, when by chance he saw her all naked in the midst of icy waters, than, to me, the fresh mountain shepherdess, set there to wash a graceful veil, that ties her vagrant blonde hair from the breeze, so that she makes me, now that the heavens burn, tremble, wholly, with the chill of love.
