Original text and translations

Italian text O dio, che potria far a questo mondo, ch’in pace un’hora io potessi stare, che possano crepare ste vecchie che non fanno che gridare.

German translation O Gott, was könnte ich tun in dieser Welt, damit ich eine Stunde Ruhe hätte, damit diese alten Weiber krepieren, die nichts als kreischen. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation O God, what could I do in this world that I might have one hour’s rest, that these old hags should die who do nothing but screech. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
