Italian text

Questa bellezza mia sarà mercede
Del troncator dell' esecrabil testa.
O miei famosi amanti, ecco si chiede
Difficil sì da voi, ma impresa onesta.
Io che sarò d'ampie ricchezze erede,
D'una vendetta in guiderdon son presta.
S'esser compra a tal prezzo indegna io sono,
Beltà , sei di natura inutil dono.

Gerusalemme liberata 16/66

English translation

"Thou shalt be his reward, with murdering brand
That dare this traitor of his head deprive,
O you my lovers, on this rock doth stand
The castle of her love for whom you strive,
I, the sole heir of all Damascus land,
For this revenge myself and kingdom give,
If by this price my will I cannot gain,
Nature gives beauty; fortune, wealth in vain.

Translated by Edward Fairfax (1560-1635)
