Original text and translations

Italian text Care lagrime mie, Messi dolenti de mie pene rie. Poi che voi non potete far molle, ohimè quel core che non have pietà del mio dolore. Se del mio lagrimare Hai fatto amor col mare Dunque, per cortesia, Ammorzate l’accesa fiamma mia O pur crescete tanto Ch’io mi sommerga nel mio stesso pianto.

English translation My dear tears, messengers of my hard pains, alas, since you can't soften the heart that has no pity for my sorrow; if you [my love] from my weeping have grown fond of the sea then be so kind as to extinguish my burning fire. Rise so much that I may sink into my own weeping.
