Original text and translations

Italian text Or che in gioia credea viver contento m'apre la gioia il seno, fuggesi l’alma e’l cor, oimè, vien meno. O sempre crudo Amore, nella gioia non men che nel dolore, tu sempre, o peni il core, o pur gioisca, fai ch’amando languisca.

English translation Now when in joy I thought to live content joy breaches my breast my soul and heart flee, ah alas! I faint. Oh ever cruel Love, in joy as in sorrow, You ever bringing woe to the heart, or happiness, you make me languish loving.
