Original text and translations

Italian text Tal’hor sano desio Vuol che morendo ancida ogni mia doglia; Ma io di pianger vago, ho fiera voglia, Amo la vita solo Perchè il mio pianto eterno duolo.   {Middle}} English translation From time to time a hale desire would wish for death to murder all my woe; But I wish to weep, a great desire have I, I love life only since tears sustain my eternal sorrow.
