-<poem>
-O voi che sospirate a miglior' notti,
-ch'ascoltate d'Amore o dite in rime,
-pregate non mi sia piú sorda Morte,
-porto de le miserie et fin del pianto;
-muti una volta quel suo antiquo stile,
-ch'ogni uom attrista, et me pò far sí lieto.
-Far mi pò lieto in una o 'n poche notti:
-e 'n aspro stile e 'n angosciose rime
-prego che 'l pianto mio finisca Morte.
-</poem>
-{{Translation|English}}
-<poem>
-Oh you who sigh for better nights,
-who hear about Love or speak of him in rhyme,
-pray he'll stop being deaf to me, O Death,
-escape from misery and end to weeping:
-pray that he'll change this time his usual style,
-that makes men sad, and might make me happy.
-He could make me happy in a single night:
-So in rhyme full of bitterness and anguish,
-I pray my tears will end in death.
