    La concubina di Titone antico 1 The concubine of old Tithonus,
 
già s'imbiancava al balco d'orïente, 2 fresh from her doting lover's arms,
 
fuor de le braccia del suo dolce amico; 3 was glowing white at the window of the east,
 
    di gemme la sua fronte era lucente, 4 her forehead glittering with gems
 
poste in figura del freddo animale 5 set in the shape of that cold-blooded creature
 
che con la coda percuote la gente; 6 that strikes men with its tail.
