Sparge la morte al mio Signor nel viso
Tra squallidi pallori
Pietosissimi horrori,
Poi lo rimira e ne divien pietosa;
Geme, sospira, e più ferir non osa.
Ei, che temer la mira,
Inchina il capo, asconde il viso, e spira.

Death spreads over my Lord's face,
Over its bleak pallor,
The most heartrending shade;
Then he looks at him and is moved to pity;
He groans, sighs, and does not dare to wound him more.
But he who sees him shrinking back
Bows his head, hides his face, and dies.
