Britten: Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, Op. 22 - Sonetto XVI

(original)
Sì come nella penna e nell’inchiostro
È l’alto e 'l basso e 'l mediocre stile
E ne' marmi l’immagin ricca e vile
Secondo che 'l sa trar l’ingegno nostro;
Così, signor mie car, nel petto vostro
Quante l’orgoglio, è forse ogni atto umile:
Ma io sol quel c’a me proprio è e simile
Ne traggo, come fuor nel viso mostro
Chi semina sospir, lacrime e doglie
(L'umor dal ciel terreste, schietto e solo
A vari semi vario si converte)
Però pianto e dolor ne miete e coglie;
Chi mira alta beltà con sì gran duolo
Dubbie speranze, e pene acerbe e certe
(translation)
Yes, like in pen and ink
It is the high and the low and the mediocre style
And the rich and vile image is in marbles
According to what our ingenuity can draw from it;
So, my dear dear, in your chest
How many pride is every humble act:
But I am the only one who is just like me
I draw from it, as if out of the monster face
Who sows sighs, tears and pains
(The humor from the earthly sky, straight and alone
To various suits various converts)
But weeping and pain reaps and seizes;
Who aims high beauty with such great grief
Doubtful hopes, and bitter and certain pains
