Stroope.

Spirto ben nato *

L'amor mi prende, e la belta mi lega;
La pieta, la merce con dolci sguardi
Ferma speranz' al cor par che ne doni.
Qual uso o qual governo al mondo neiga.
Qual crudelta per tempo o qual piu tardi.
C'a si bell'opra morte non perdoni?

Amor, pieta, merce, cose si rare.

*Spirto ben nato (text in Italian)

 Noble Sprit

Love takes me captive; beauty binds me;
Pity and mercy with sweet glances
Fill my heart with strong hope.
What law or power in the world,
What cruelty of this time or of a time to
come, Could keep Death from sparing
such a lovely face? [and beautiful soul]
Love, piety, mercy, things so rare.
