Italian text

Miser' hoimè, chi potrà piu allegrarmi,
 Poi ch'ogni mio diletto in tutt'estinto,
 E son dal grave duol sì preso e vinto,
 Che piu non spero mai poter slegarmi,
 Vissi d'Amor pregion ma sì contento,
 Che dolce mi pareva ogni tormento,
 Hor sciolto son ma pien di tant'amaro,
 Che sol potria'l morir essermi caro.
