Text and translation
O messaggier di miei pensieri, Amore,
vanne dinanzi al mio Signor Gentile
e dì, con atto riverente e humile,
quanto ho desio di dimostrarlob il cuore:
Ma tosto che la man muove e lo stile,
per honorarlo in parte,
io mi sento mancar l’ingegno e l’arte.
O Love, messenger of my thoughts,
come before my gentle Lord
and say with a reverent and humble act
how much I want to show him my heart:
But as soon as the hand moves, and the pen,
to honor him in part,
I feel a lack of ingenuity and art.
