Original text and translations

English text

Lady, when I behold your passions,
so divers and so oft constrained,
up on such slight or no occasions,
as though you were with grief sore pained,
I enter into these persuasions:
A man might sail from Trent unto Danube,
and yet not find so strange a piece as you be.
