by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)
Translation by Heinrich Nelson
Lezi, vezzi, carezze, or, feste e perle
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Lezi, vezzi, carezze, or, feste e perle, Chi potria ma' vederle Cogli atti suo divin l'uman lavoro, Ove l'argento e l'oro Da le' riceve o duplica suo luce? Ogni gemma piú luce Dagli occhi suo che da propia virtute.

Kleinodien, Zierat, Perlen und Korallen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Kleinodien, Zierat, Perlen und Korallen, Wer fände wohl Gefallen Am Menschenwerk, schaut er in Götterpracht sie selbst, Wie sie entfacht den Glanz Von Gold und Silber doppelt hell? Ja, jegliches Juwel Strahlt mehr aus ihre Augen als aus sich.
