Original text and translations

Italian text Come si m'accendete Se tutto ghiaccio sete. E al foco, che mi date, Voi ghiaccio, come voi non dileguate? Anzi à sue fiamme, ahi lasso. Di ghiaccio diventate un duro sasso. O miracol d’ amor fuor di natura ch'un ghiaccio altri arda ed egli al foco indura.

English translation How am I to ignite If everything has become ice cream And in the fire that you give me You ice, why do not you disappear. Indeed, flames are, oh well! Ice is hard as stone. O wonder of love in nature, that melts ice and hardens into fire.

Dutch translation Hoe ben ik te ontsteken Als alles tot ijs is geworden En in het vuur dat je me geeft Jij ijs, waarom verdwijn je niet. Inderdaad zijn vlammen, ach! IJs wordt hard als steen. O wonder van liefde in de natuur, dat ijs doet smelten en tot vuur verhardt.
