Excerpt from Florilegio Di Canti Toscani: Folk Songs of the Tuscan Hills: With English Renderings

Però ch' Amore non si può vedere,
E non si tratta corporalemente;
Manti ne son di sì folle sapere,
Che credono ch' Amore sia niente.

Ma po' ch' Amore si face sentere
Dentro dal signoreggiar la gente,
Molto maggiore pregio de' avere,
Che se 'l vedesse visibilemente.

Per la virtute della calamita
Como lo ferro attrae, non si vede,
Ma sì lo tira signorevolmente.

E questa cosa a credere m' invita
Che Amore sia; e dammi grande fede,
Che tuttor sia creduto fra la gente.

Piero Delle Vigne of Capua (d. 1249).

Since Love may not be seen of mortal eyes,
Nor can in terms corporeal be taught,
Many are found of lore so foolish wise,
That in their reckoning Love is deemed as naught.

Albeit, since Within doth Love devise
That men must feel him, through his potence wrought,
Far more should he be hailed their Very Prize,
Than were he seen in outward semblance brought.

We have no sight that virtue to perceive
Whereby the loadstone doth the iron lure,
None less it draweth, sovran to constrain.

Which thing doth well invite me to believe
That Love is truly; yea, doth faith assure
That ever 'mongst the folk shall this obtain.
