Hob XXVIa, 35 Piercing Eyes [Neapolitan translation]

Why asks my fair one if I love?

Those eyes so piercing bright

can every doubt of that remove,

and need no other light.

Those eyes full well do know my heart,

and all its workings see,

e'er since they play'd the conq'ror's part,

and I no more was free.
