Original text and translations

Italian text Per pianto la mia carne si distilla sì come al sol la neve o come al vento si disfà la nebbia; né so che far mi debbia. Or pensate al mio mal, qual esser deve.

English translation It melts away in tears, my flesh, as snow in the sun or as fog is dispersed by the wind; and I just don't know what to do with myself. Now, think upon my pain, what it must be like. Translation by Campelli

Spanish translation Destílase en llorar la carne mía, assí como al sol la nieve, o al viento niebla; ya no sé qué me haga. Ora pensa mi mal, qué tal ser deve. Translation by Jénonimo Jiménez de Urrea
