Original text and translations

Italian text Or tregua avran i miei caldi sospiri e le selve d'intorno avran pur pace tacendo io la cagion de' miei martiri. La mesta fronte che del cor non tace, esempio fia d'ogni mia lieta sorte, coi lieti spazi suoi, con lieti giri poiché madonna con sue fide scorte e con dolce velen mi tols'amore.

English translation Now my warm sighs will have respite, And woods around will have peace as well, As I stay silent about the source of my torments. My sad face, which speaks naught from my heart, would be an example of every happy fate, with its joyful spaces, with its cheerful turns, since my lady, with her faithful escorts and her sweet poison took my love away. Translation by Allen Garvin
