Original text and translations

Italian text Fallace ardir e troppo stolte voglie, Donna, fur la cagione onde vinto da voi, restai prigione: desio d'onor e giusto sdegno scioglie il duro laccio ond'io non più son vostro no, ma torno mio. Ed ho sì in odio vui ch'odio me stesso perché vostro fui.

English translation Deceptive daring and most foolish desires, Lady, were the means by which, conquered by you, I remained imprisoned: By desire for honor and a righteous contempt, I dissolve the harsh bonds so that I am no longer yours, but rather come back to myself. And I have such hate for you that I hate myself, because once I was yours. Translation by Allen Garvin
