Original text and translations

Italian text Di questo Orlando avea gran doglia, e seco indarno a sua sciochezza ripensava. Cor mio, dicea, come vilmente teco mi son portato! ohimè, quanto mi aggrava che potendoti aver notte e dì meco, quando la tua bontà non mel negava, t’abbia lasciato in man di Namo porre, per non sapermi a tanta ingiuria opporre!

English translation This in Orlando moved great grief, and he Lay thinking on his folly past in vain: My heart, he said, oh! how unworthily I bore myself! and out, alas! what pain, (When night and day I might have dwelt with thee, Since this thou didst not in thy grace disdain.) To have let them place thee in old Namus' hand! Witless a wrong so crying to withstand. Translation by William Stewart Rose
