Original text and translations

Italian text Tra sospiri e querele, la mia donna fallace ora m'indice guerra, or nunzia pace, sì che confuso fra speme e timore ride e piang'il mio core.

English translation Twixt sighs and complaints, my deceitful lady now wages war on me, now offers peace, such that, confused between hope and fear, my heart laughs and weeps. Translation by Allen Garvin
