Original text and translations

Italian text Ítene, o miei sospiri, precipitate il volo a lei che m’è cagion d’aspri martiri. Dítele per pietà del mio gran duolo ch’or mai ella mi sia come bella, ancor pia che l’amaro mio pianto cangerò lieto in amoroso canto.

English translation My sighs, may you wing your way to her who is causing me bitter torment. For pity's sake, tell her of my great suffering. If she will be as merciful as she is beautiful, I shall cease my bitter lament and sing a love song. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
