Original text and translations

Italian text Signor cui già fu poco formar i cieli e insieme spiegar l'aria, la terra, il mare e'l foco: L'alma che plora e geme ne le sue angoscie estreme, piacciati ancor gradire e pietoso riguarda al mio fallire.

English translation Oh Lord, for whom it was easy To concurrently close the heavens, To lay out the air and the earth, The sea and the fire, The spirit, that weeps and laments In his extreme anguishes, May you still accept And look mercifully at my failure.
