      Se de voi, donna gente,
      m’ha preso amor, no è giá meraviglia,
      ma miracol somiglia
      come a ciascun no ha l’anima presa;
      ché de cosa piacente
      savemo de vertá ch’è nato amore.
      If I have caught love for you, gentle woman, is no wonder; but it seems like a miracle that it hasn't taken everyone's soul, for in truth we know that Love was born of a pleasing thing.
