The truth thy speech doth show, within my heart reproves the swelling pride.
Buona umilta e gran tumor m'appiani.

Original text (Italian)
Love hath so long possessed me for his own
And made his lordship so familiar.
She is the sum of nature's universe.
To her perfection all of beauty tends.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
