Ancor che per amarti io mi consumi
in ogni parte e non a me rimiri
tu, bramata cagion di miei martiri—
deh, volgi omai ver me gli amati lumi
poi che vil fango ancor rimirar suole
senza oscurar i suoi bei raggi, il Sole.

English.png English translation

Although every part of me is consumed by love
for you and you do not look at
me, longed-for cause of my torture—
ah, turn already your beloved eyes to me,
for the Sun can look upon lowly mud
without its lovely rays being dimmed.

Translation by Campelli
