Excerpt: ... TRANSLATION FROM VITTORELLI. ON A NUN. Sonnet composed in the name of a father whose daughter had recently died shortly after her marriage; and addressed to the father of her who had lately taken the veil. Of two fair virgins, modest, though admired, Heaven made us happy; and now, wretched sires, Heaven for a nobler doom their worth desires, And gazing upon either, both required. Mine, while the torch of Hymen newly fired Becomes extinguish'd, soon--too soon--expires: But thine, within the closing grate retired, Eternal captive, to her God aspires. But thou at least from out the jealous door, Which shuts between your never-meeting eyes, La sua tenera udir voce pietosa. Io verso un fiume d'amarissim' onda, Corro a quel marmo, in cui la figlia or posa, Batto, e ribatto, ma nessun risponde. May'st hear her sweet and pious voice once more: / to the marble, where my daughter lies, Rush, --the swoln flood of bitterness I pour, And knock, and knock, and knock--but none replies.
