Ahi perché alla tua ardent'e ingorda voglia
secondi sì? qual sorte tua t'induce
a seguir per tua scorta e per tuo duce
quel dolce error ch'al tuo martir t'invoglia.
Dunque fra speme incerta e certa doglia
vivrai, diverrai cieco a quella luce
che t'arde tanto più quanto più luce
e quanto più t'alletta più s'indoglia.

English.png English translation

Ah, why do you so indulge your ardent
and greedy desire? What fate induces you
to follow as your guide and captain
that sweet error that tempts you to your suffering?
Thus between uncertain hope and certain pain
you shall live, and you shall go blind at that light
that burns you so much more than it shines
and the more it attracts you, the more it torments you.

Translation by Allen Garvin
