Italian text
Nessun visse giamai piu di me lieto;
Nessun vive piu tristo e giorni e notti:
E doppiando'l dolor, doppia lo stile,
Che trahe del cor si lagrimose rime.
Vissi di speme; hor vivo pur di pianto,
Ne contra morte spero altro che morte.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
No one has ever led a happier life than I once did:
no one's days and nights are more sorrowful than mine.
As the pain is redoubled, so doubled is the dagger
that draws from my heart such tearful verse.
I used to live inspired by hope; yet now my life is filled with lamenting:
no remedy for death there is but death itself.
