<poem>
Qual fora, donna, un dolce oimè d'Amore
Qual fora, donna, un dolce oimè d'Amore
Se quell'oimè che da voi tragge, ahi lasso,
se quell'oimè che da voi tragge, ahi lasso,
Lieve dolor così m'incende il core?
lieve dolor così m'incende il core?
Misero, a ciascun passo
Misero, a ciascun passo
Vo desiando, e so ch'indarno il bramo,
desiando, e ch'indarno il bramo,
Che un dì col cor diciate: 'oimè ch'io t'amo'.
che un dì col cor diciate: “oimè ch'io t'amo”.}}

{{Translation|English|
What purpose, lady, does a sweet sigh of love serve
if the sigh which it draws from you, alas,
so inflames my heart with welcome pain?
Wretch that I am, at each step that I take
I am filled with desire, and know it is in vain for me to hope
that one day you will say with all your heart: 'Alas how I love you'.}}

What purpose, lady, does a sweet sigh of love serve
if the sigh which it draws from you, alas,
so inflames my heart with welcome pain?
Wretch that I am, at each step that I take
I am filled with desire, and know it is in vain for me to hope
that one day you will say with all your heart: 'Alas how I love you'.
