Original text and translations

Italian text Or qui son, lasso, et voglio esser altrove; et vorrei piú volere, et piú non voglio; et per piú non poter fo quant'io posso; e d'antichi desir' lagrime nove provan com'io son pur quel ch'i' mi soglio, né per mille rivolte anchor son mosso. Canzoniere 118 (final two stanzas of four)

English translation I am here now, alas, and would be elsewhere: and wish to wish for more, and wish no more: and because I cannot do more, do what I can: and fresh tears from old desire show that I am what I have always been, no different yet despite a thousand changes.
