Original text and translations

Italian text Io son fenice, e voi sete la fiamma Che m’arde a dramma Ma la morte m’è dolce si gradita Che per anco morir ritorno in vita.

English translation I am the phoenix and you the flame which burns me so dramatically But this death is sweet and welcome to me Because, though I die, I return to life. Translation by James Gibb
