Original text and translations

Italian text Quest' Opera mia ti dono col cor ò Madre Maria per pegno d'Amor. Con l'Alma divota che dono à te del Canto lanota consagro al tuo piè. L'offerta è vile Maria lo sò d'affetto humile un segno sol dò.

English translation This composition I give to you with my heart, Mother Mary, as a pledge of my love. With the committed soul that I offer you, I consecrate the song’s music at your feet. Mary, the gift is humble, I know: I offer it merely to represent my humble love. Translation by Nicholas Jones
