Original text and translations

Italian text Care lagrime mie, Messi dolenti di mie pene rie, Poiché voi non potete Far molle, ohime! quel core Che non haver pietà del mio dolore, Almen per cortesia Ammorzate l'accesa fiamma mia, O pur crescete tanto Ch'io mi sommerga nel mio stesso pianto.

English translation My dear tears, messengers of my hard pains, alas, since you can't soften the heart that has no pity for my sorrow, then be so kind as to extinguish my burning fire or rise so much that I may drown into my own weeping. Translation by Campelli
