Crudel, di che peccato a doler t'hai,
se d'uccider chi t'ama non ti penti?
Se 'l mancar di tua fe si leggier fai,
di ch'altro peso il cor gravar ti senti?
Come tratti il nemico, se tu dai
a me, che t'amo si, questi tormenti?
Ben diro che giustizia in ciel non sia,
s'a veder tardo la vendetta mia.

Cruel, what sin can trouble thee, if thou
Do'st not her murder who loved thee repent?
If held so lightly be a breach of vow
Beneath what burden will thy heart be bent?
What treatment will thine adversary know,
If one who loves like me thou so torment?
Justice is none in heaven, I well may say,
If Heaven its vengeance for my wrongs delay.

by William Stewart Rose (1775-1843)
