Original text and translations

Italian text Nel foco d'un bel lauro, Come unica Fenice, Arsi gran tempo, e fu l'ardor felice: Hor ch'altri hanno ristauro De la medesma fiamma, In me à dramma à dramma Manca l'ardore; e in tutto spento fia. Perch'Amor non patisce compagnia.

English translation In the flame of a beautiful laurel like the solitary phoenix I burned long, and the ardor was joyful. Now that others are restored from that self-same flame, in me, bit by bit, the passion fades; and it shall be thoroughly spent, because Love does not suffer company. Translation by Allen Garvin
