Italian.png Italian text

Poi che 'l camin m'è chiuso di Mercede,
per desperata via son dilungato
da gli occhi ov'era, i' non so per qual fato,
riposto il guidardon d'ogni mia fede.

Pasco 'l cor di sospir', ch'altro non chiede,
e di lagrime vivo a pianger nato:
né di ciò duolmi, perché in tale stato
è dolce il pianto piú ch'altri non crede.

Canzoniere 130 (1st 8 lines)
English.png English translation

ince the path to Mercy's closed to me,
I travel on the road of despair, far
from those eyes where, by what fate who knows,
the reward for all my faith is set.

I feed the heart on sighs, it asks no more,
and, born to weep, I live on tears:
nor lament it, since in such a state
weeping's sweeter than others might believe.
