Original text and translations

Italian text Soavissimi baci ch'innovate d'amor l'ardenti faci, ferite si ma dolc'e la ferita, che la mort' alm' altrui ritorn' in vita.

English translation Sweetest kisses that light love’s bright torches, you wound me, but the wound is sweet— dying, my soul comes back to life. Translation by Nicholas Jones
