She Will Speak To Thee

La Notte, che tu vedi in sì dolci atti
Dormir, fu da un angelo scolpita
In questo sasso, e perchè dorme ha vita
Destala, se nol credi, e parleratti*
--Giovan Battista Strozzi (1504-1571)

* Night, in so sweet an attitude beheld
Asleep, was by an angel sculptured
In this stone, and sleeping, is alive
Waken her, doubter; she will speak to thee
