Original text and translations

Italian text Resta in pace diva mia   Poi che ciel da ti me tolse   Per che quel che brama e volse   El convien che presto sia   Resta in pace diva mia   Poi chel ciel ti me tolse Resta in pace che piangendo    Prendo hormai da te licentia    pur igiorni vo sunando    de veder la tua presentia    in quel mezo a patientia    son constretto diva mia La promessache mhai facto    dentro il cor il porto mecho    fa che sia reservato    La mia fe chio lasso techo    ben chio sia stimato ciecho    e manchato di fe non sia

English translation Rest in peace, my goddess, As heaven has taken you from me Because he desired and wanted It to be this soon. Rest in peace, my goddess, As heaven has taken you from me. Remain in peace, because crying, I now ask permission from you: I will still spend my days looking for your presence. In the meantime, my goddess, be patient. I will keep the promise you made me in my heart, I will stay faithful to you. If I tire of faithfulness, may I be blinded, rather than be lacking in faith
