Pretensione d’amor legittima

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: GER

Non miri il mio bel Sole,
Chi lui sol non adora,
Com’io, ch’altro non bramo, altro non miro
Da l’una, á l’altra aurora.
A gran ragion sospiro,
E chieggio per giustissima mercede
D’un’ amor, d’una fede,
D’un languir per bellezze al Mondo sole
Sola solo il mio Sole.

Confirmed with Battista Guarini, Il pastor fido, tragicomedia pastorale, 1639, page 98.

Anmaßung rechtmäßiger Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Greife der nicht nach meiner schönen Sonne,
der sie nicht ausschließlich vergöttert,
wie ich, der keine andere begehrt, nach keiner anderen trachtet,
von einer zur nächsten Morgenröte.
Mit vollem Recht seufze ich
und bitte um gerechteste Belohnung
durch Liebe, Treue,
Sehnen nach Schönheiten, die einzigartig auf der Welt,
nur von Dir, meine einzige Sonne.
