Più non si trovano
[Fra]1 mille amanti
Sol due bell'anime
Che sian costanti,
E tutti parlano
Di fedeltà.
E il reo costume
Tanto s'avanza
Che la costanza
Di chi ben ama
Ormai si chiama
Semplicità.

Amongst / a thousand lovers
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Amongst
a thousand lovers,
no more can even one pair
of constant lovers be found,
yet everyone talks
of faithfulness!
And base custom
has advanced itself
so insidiously that
fidelity from an earnest lover
is now termed
"naïveté."
