Italian text

Lasso, quand’io credei d’esser felice
In una selva tenebrosa e oscura
Mi ritrovai per me troppo infelice,
Che così piacque a mia stella noiosa.
E meno ancor mia vita aspra e penosa,
E quasi ho svelt’il cuor da la radice,
E quella a cui serv’io m’è ogn’or ritrosa,
Nè il gridar vale, e favellar non lice.
