Poich per mio destino	A
	-
IN PRAISE OF LAURA'S EYES IN THEM HE FINDS EVERY GOOD AND HE CAN NEVER CEASE TO PRAISE THEM	B
	-
	-
Since then by destiny	A
I am compell'd to sing the strong desire	C
Which here condemns me ceaselessly to sigh	D
May Love whose quenchless fire	C
Excites me be my guide and point the way	E
And in the sweet task modulate my lay	E
But gently be it lest th' o'erpowering theme	F
Inflame and sting me lest my fond heart may	E
Dissolve in too much softness which I deem	F
From its sad state may be	A
For in me hence my terror and distress	G
Not now as erst I see	A
Judgment to keep my mind's great passion less	G
Nay rather from mine own thoughts melt I so	H
As melts before the summer sun the snow	H
	-
At first I fondly thought	I
Communing with mine ardent flame to win	A
Some brief repose some time of truce within	A
This was the hope which brought	I
Me courage what I suffer'd to explain	A
Now now it leaves me martyr to my pain	A
But still continuing mine amorous song	J
Must I the lofty enterprise maintain	A
So powerful is the wish that in me glows	K
That Reason which so long	J
Restrain'd it now no longer can oppose	K
Then teach me Love to sing	L
In such frank guise that ever if the ear	M
Of my sweet foe should chance the notes to hear	M
Pity I ask no more may in her spring	L
	-
If as in other times	N
When kindled to true virtue was mankind	O
The genius energy of man could find	O
Entrance in divers climes	N
Mountains and seas o'erpassing seeking there	P
Honour and culling oft its garland fair	P
Mine were such wish not mine such need would be	A
From shore to shore my weary course to trace	Q
Since God and Love and Nature deign for me	A
Each virtue and each grace	Q
In those dear eyes where I rejoice to place	Q
In life to them must I	D
Turn as to founts whence peace and safety swell	R
And e'en were death which else I fear not nigh	D
Their sight alone would teach me to be well	R
	-
As vex'd by the fierce wind	O
The weary sailor lifts at night his gaze	S
To the twin lights which still our pole displays	S
So in the storms unkind	O
Of Love which I sustain in those bright eyes	T
My guiding light and only solace lies	T
But e'en in this far more is due to theft	U
Which taught by Love from time to time I make	V
Of secret glances than their gracious gift	W
Yet that though rare and slight	X
Makes me from them perpetual model take	V
Since first they blest my sight	X
Nothing of good without them have I tried	Y
Placing them over me to guard and guide	Y
Because mine own worth held itself but light	X
	-
Never the full effect	Z
Can I imagine and describe it less	G
Which o'er my heart those soft eyes still possess	G
As worthless I reject	Z
And mean all other joys that life confers	A2
E'en as all other beauties yield to hers	A2
A tranquil peace alloy'd by no distress	G
Such as in heaven eternally abides	B2
Moves from their lovely and bewitching smile	C2
So could I gaze the while	C2
Love at his sweet will governs them and guides	B2
E'en though the sun were nigh	D
Resting above us on his onward wheel	D2
On her intensely with undazzled eye	D
Nor of myself nor others think or feel	D2
	-
Ah that I should desire	C
Things that can never in this world be won	A
Living on wishes hopeless to acquire	C
Yet were the knot undone	A
Wherewith my weak tongue Love is wont to bind	O
Checking its speech when her sweet face puts on	A
All its great charms then would I courage find	O
Words on that point so apt and new to use	E2
As should make weep whoe'er might hear the tale	F2
But the old wounds I bear	P
Stamp'd on my tortured heart such power refuse	G2
Then grow I weak and pale	F2
And my blood hides itself I know not where	P
Nor as I was remain I hence I know	H
Love dooms my death and this the fatal blow	H
	-
Farewell my song already do I see	A
Heavily in my hand the tired pen move	H2
From its long dear discourse with her I love	I2
Not so my thoughts from communing with me	A
