Original text and translations

Italian text O in primavera eterna già nel mio amor piantata, bella aurea arbor ingrata, chi è che t'ha svelta? il vento? Non già, ma tuo talento: dunque atterrata or verna, che nello sdegno, ogni mio amor s'interna.

English translation O you, who once in the eternal spring of my love were planted, beautiful golden, ungrateful tree, who is it that uprooted you? The wind? Not that, but your inclination: thus fallen, now weather the frost, since in your disdain, all my love turns inward. Translation by Allen Garvin
