Apostolo Zeno (1669 - 1750)
Langue al cocente raggio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Langue al cocente raggio
la pallida viola;
ma stilla rugiadosa
spiegar le fa più vaghi i suoi colori.
Di fronte al fiero oltraggio
langue anche l'alma mia;
ma un raggio di speranza
conforta, e racconsola
i miei languori.

The pale violet languishes
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
The pale violet languishes
under the harsh sun,
but drooping, it innocently
unfurls its colors and renders them more precious.
Faced with cruel outrages,
my soul also withers,
but a ray of hope
comforts and consoles me
in my frailty.
