Original text and translations

Donne leggiadre che seguite Amore,
Voi di pietà vaghe:
Mirate alle mie piaghe
E dite a questa fera
Crudel' hai torto a far che costui pera.

English.png English translation

Graceful women who follow love,
you of fleeting mercy:
Look upon my wounds
and tell to this wild, cruel one:
You are wrong to make him perish.

Translation by Allen Garvin
