Original text and translations

Italian text Chi salirà per me, Madonn' in cielo A riportarn' il mio perdut' ingegno Che, poi ch'usci da' bei vostr' occhi il telo, Che'l cor mi fiss', ognor perdendo vegno? Nè di tanta jattura mi querelo, Pur chè non cresca, ma stia a questo segno; Ch'io dubito, se più se va scemando, Che stolto me n'andrò pel mond' errando.

English translation Madonna, who will scale the high ascent Of heaven, to me my judgment to restore, Which, since from your bright eyes the weapon went, That pierced my heart, is wasting evermore? Yet will not I such mighty loss lament, So that it drain no faster than before; But — ebbing further — I should fear to be So wandering and go made like me. Translation by William Stewart Rose
