Original text and translations

Italian text Se’l vostro cor, Madonna, altrui pietoso tanto, da quel suo degno al mio non degno pianto talor si rivolgesse ed una stilla al mio languir ne desse, forse del mio dolore vedria l’altrui perfidia e’l proprio errore, e voi seco direste: ah sapess’io usar pietà come pietà desìo!

English translation If your heart, Lady, so soft towards others, from its own worthy sorrow to my unworthy complaint should ever turn, and shed a tear for my complaining, perhaps from my sorrow it would come to see the treachery of others and its own mistake and you would then say: ah, could I only show mercy as mercy I desire!
