Modern Italian

1
Degg'io amarvi occhi belli, no o sì?
No, ch'al lume farfalla incenerì.
Sarei folle a bramarvi, o luci belle,
Ché non lice a un mortal goder le stelle.

2
Degg'io amarvi occhi cari, sì o no?
Sì, se dolce pallore in voi vedrò;
Abbagliar, e avvampar assai men suole
Quando si mostra palidetto il sole.
