Original text and translations

Italian text Anima del cor mio, Poiché da me, misera me tu parti, S'ami conforto alcun a miei martiri Non isdegnar ch'almen ti segua anch'io, Solo co' miei sospiri, E sol per rimembrarti Ch'in tante pene e in cosí fiero scempio Vivrò d'amor, di vera fede esempio.

English translation Soul of the heart, since you are deserting this unhappy woman, if you want my sufferings to have any solace, do not refuse at least to let me follow you with my sighs only, and only recall to you that in the midst of such great sorrows and cruel havoc I will live on as an example of love and true faithfulness. Translation Stanley Appelbaum
