Filostrato's translation


Così adunque andandosi gabbando
or d'uno or d'altro Troiolo, e sovente
or questa donna or quella rimirando,
per caso avvenne che in fra la gente
l'occhio suo vago giunse penetrando
colà dov'era Criseida piacente,
sotto candido velo in bruna vesta
tra l'altre donne in sì solenne festa
Boccaccio 'Il Filostrato' 

                       TRANSLATE
So Troiolo is going everywhere chating
now a person, now an other person, and often looking
now this woman now that,
for coincidence happened that between the people,
his vague eye arrived penetrating
there where was the pleasing Creassida,
under a white veil and black dressed between 
the other women in the solemn party.
Boccaccio 'Il Filostrato'.
