Original text and translations

Italian text Temer donna non dei, ch'io scopr'altrui giamai gl'incendi miei il mio rinchius' ardore. Non vedrà, non saprà (non ch'altri) Amore. Ardo, e sempr'arderò tacit' amante, se pur tra fiamme tante non s'apr'il petto, e fore l'imagin tua non manifest' il core.

English translation You should not fear, my lady, that I will ever reveal to anyone my burning passion, my hidden ardour. Amor will not see it, nor know it either. I burn, and will ever burn as a silent lover, unless, surrounded by so many flames, my chest opens up, and my heart exposes your image to the outside.
