Original text and translations

Italian text Amor per qual cagion mi mandi a terra, se sai te son fedele, e bramo pace e mi ritrov' in guerra, di te che sei crudele, ne voi sia per me pace, ma che sempr'arda con tua viva face.

English translation Why did love put me on this earth? You know that I am faithful to you and that I long for peace, yet am in torment, because of you who are so cruel. I wish you no peace of mind either: may you and your beautiful face burn for ever in anguish. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
