Original text and translations

Italian text De la mia cruda sorte Ben a ragion mi doglio, Non di colei c'ha del mio cor la chiave, Ch'ella più che la morte Piena d'ira e d'orgoglio Odia colui sotto il cui peso grave Vive e vita non have. Ahi sorte priva di saper' e d'arte Vieti dunq'a due Amanti Stringersi in nodi santi. La sentenza non cade in giusta parte Ch'un resti afflitto e solo Congiunto l'altro con eterno duolo.

English translation For my cruel fate I do suffer, And not for her who owns the keys of my heart, For, full of rage and pride, She hates, more than death itself, him who lives under her heavy burden without his own real life. Alas! Fate, you who are without knowledge and prowess, you forbid two lovers To be bound in holy ties! Your verdict is wrong Since one is sad and alone And the other is bound to eternal woe.
