Original text and translations

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 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. Translation by Mick Swithinbank

When I admire the roses that nature placed in you, and those that art has sprewn on your lovely bosom, I cannot tell whether you are the roses, or the roses you. Translation by Campelli
