Original text and translations

Italian text Togli, dolce ben mio, Questi bei fior con lieto e uman sembiante, Che pien d'alto desio Ti ho colto di mia man fra mille piante; E per mia pura fede, Donami un bacio in vece di mercede.

English translation Translation by Allen Garvin Take, my sweet love, these beautiful flowers with a cheerful and affable countenance, that, full of deep desire, I have picked for you, with my own hand, from a thousand plants; And for my pure faith, give me a kiss instead, in trade.
