Quel sempre acerbo ed onorato giornoA
-
HE RECALLS HER AS HE SAW HER WHEN IN TEARSB
-
-
That ever painful ever honour'd dayC
So left her living image on my heartD
Beyond or lover's wit or poet's artD
That oft to it will doting memory strayC
A gentle pity softening her bright mienA
Her sorrow there so sweet and sad was heardE
Doubt in the gazer's bosom almost stirr'dE
Goddess or mortal which made heaven sereneA
Fine gold her hair her face as sunlit snowA
Her brows and lashes jet twin stars her eyneA
Whence the young archer oft took fatal aimF
Each loving lip whence utterance sweet and lowA
Her pent grief found a rose which rare pearls lineA
Her tears of crystal and her sighs of flameF

That ever honour'd yet too bitter dayC
Her image hath so graven in my breastH
That only memory can return it dress'dH
In living charms no genius could portrayC
Her air such graceful sadness did displayC
Her plaintive soft laments my ear so bless'dH
I ask'd if mortal or a heavenly guestH
Did thus the threatening clouds in smiles arrayC
Her locks were gold her cheeks were breathing snowA
Her brows with ebon arch'd bright stars her eyesI
Wherein Love nestled thence his dart to aimF
Her teeth were pearls the rose's softest glowA
Dwelt on that mouth whence woke to speech grief's sighsI
Her tears were crystal and her breath was flameF
