Italian text
Quand'io miro le rose
ch'in voi natura pose
e quelle che v'ha l'arte
nel vago seno sparte,
non so conoscer poi
se voi le rose o sian le rose voi.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
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.
