Le domandai:
A chi vuoi legare il tuo destino tu così bella?
Essa mi rispose:
A me stessa,
Perchè sono l'unica!
Perchè sono l'amore,
Son l'amante
E l'amata!
Perchè sono lo Specchio,
La Bellezza
E la visione!

I asked her
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
I asked her:
To whom do you wish to bind your destiny, you [who are] so beautiful?
She replied to me:
To myself,
Because I am the only one!
Because I am love;
I am the lover,
And the beloved!
Because I am the mirror,
Beauty,
And sight!
