Altri che voi so ben che non m'intende.
Quando agli ardenti rai neve divegno,
vostro gentile sdegno
forse ch'allor mia indignitate offende.
Oh, se questa temenza
non temprasse l'arsura che m'incende,
beato venir men! ché 'n lor presenza
m'è più caro il morir che 'l viver senza. (Petrarch)

Translation by Anthony S. Kline

None can understand me as well as you.
When I melt like snow in the hot sun,
your gentle disdain
is perhaps because my unworthiness offends.
Oh, if that fear
did not quench the flame where I burn,
how blessed I'd be! For in your presence
it's sweeter to die than live without you.
