Original text and translations

Italian text Incenerite spoglie, avara tomba Fatta del mio bel Sol, terreno Cielo, ahi lasso! I' vegno ad inchinarvi in terra. Con voi chius'è 'l mio cor a marmi in seno, e notte e giorno vive in foco, in pianto, in duolo, in ira, il tormentato Glauco.

English translation Remains turned to ashes, at the miserly tomb made earthly paradise by my fair sun, alas and alack, I come to lay you in earth. With you is my heart buried deep in a marble vault, and night and day the tormented Glaucus lives in flames, in sorrow and in anger.
