Grazie agl’inganni tuoi

Grazie agl’inganni tuoi,
Al fin respiro, o Nice,
Al fin d’un infelice
Ebber gli Dei pietà:
 
E (non t’ offenda il vero) 
Nel tuo leggiadro aspetto
Or vedo alcun difetto,
Che mi parea beltà. 

Thank you for your deceptions

At last I can breathe, o Nice,

At the end of unhappiness

The Gods had mercy.

 

And (don’t let the truth offend you)

In your lovely appearance

I discover some faults

That once seemed beautiful to me.
