Guarda il mio stato a le vaghezze nuove
Ch'interrompendo di mia vita il corso
M'han fatto abitator d'ombroso bosco
Rendemi s'esser può libera e sciolta
L'errante mia consorte e fia tuo il pregio
se ancor teco la trovo in miglior parte.

Canzoniere 214
English.png English translation

Care for my being: guard it from these new
wanderings that, interrupting my life's path,
have made me a dweller in the shadowy wood:
render, if you can, my errant soul, free
and unfettered, and let yours be the prize
if I find it, at last, with You, in a better place.
