Original text and translations

Italian text

Notte felice aventuros'e bella
Che dopo tante pene e dolor tanti
Dopo singulti e pianti
Pur mi guidasti in braccio'alla mia stella
Ove donasti alla virtù smarrita
Sì dolc'e cara vita
Ma'l sol poi troppo caminando forte
Tosto conduss'il giorno ond'io'hebbi morte.
