Original text and translations

Italian text Se voi lagrime a pieno Non mostrate il dolore Ch'entro rinchiud'il seno, A che versate fore? Statevi dentro e soffocate il core. Leonora Bernardi, Drama, Poetry and Music in late-Renaissance Italy (2023), p.415

English translation If you, tears, do not fully express the anguish my breast harbours within, then why do you pour out? Stay within and choke my heart. Translation Virginia Cox
