Original text and translations

Italian text

Felice l'alma che per voi sospira
Lumi del ciel per liqual'io ringratio
La vita che per altro non m'è a grado
Oimè perche si rado
Mi date quel ond'io mai non son satio
Perchè non piu sovente
Mirate qual Amor di me fa stratio
E perchè mi spogliat'immantinente
Del ben ch'ad hor ad hor l'anima sente.
