Original text and translations

Italian text Sappi, signor, che Lidia son io Del re di Lidia in grand’altezza nata Qui dal giudicio altissimo di Dio Al fumo eternamente condannata Per esser stata al fido amante mio Mentr’io vissi, spiacevol et ingrata; D’altr’infinite è questa grotta piena Poste per simil fallo in simil pena.

English translation "Lydia, the child of Lydia's king, am I, To proud estate and princely honours born, Condemned by righteous doom of God on high In murky smoke eternally to mourn: Because a kindly lover's constancy I, while I lived, repaid with spite and scorn. With countless others swarm these grots below, For the same sin, condemned to the same woe. Translation by William Rose
