what does the Italian word strale mean in English?

Question

I''m working a project i have the following passage i need translated and put into understandable speech.

Mai non intesi per altro sguardo quel dolce strale che l'alme impiaga. questo ch'io sento e il primo dardo e sra questa l'ultima piaga

Answer 1

It's from old Italian language and it means "arrow" or "dart".
Modern Italian for arrow / dart is "freccia" or also "dardo".

"Lo strale d'Amore" is "Cupid's dart ".
