Original text and translations

Italian text Tu mi piagasti a morte darmi credendo Amor picciol ferita; ma lo stral col piacer passò sì forte ch'io sento del desio mancar la vita. Or questa sola aita cheggio in mercé ch'a lei creder tu 'l faccia però che con pietà fede s'abbraccia.

English translation You wounded me mortally, believing, Love, to give me but a small wound; But the arrow, for its pleasure, struck so deeply that I feel the fire of my passion fade. Now this aid alone I ask in recompense: that you cause her to realize it, for passion and faith are intertwined. Translation by Allen Garvin
